LGBTQ+ History Month:\u00a0 October 2023<\/span><\/h2>\n

LGBTQ+ History Month began with a 1994 high school history lesson in which Missouri teacher Rodney Wilson came out to his class. Wilson, who became the first out gay teacher in Missouri, would go on to found \u201cGay History Month,\u201d which would eventually become the October celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month we know today. During LGBTQ+ History Month we celebrate, affirm, and highlight the deep history and significant achievements of the LGBTQ+ community in our schools, our community, and our country. National Coming Out Day, which celebrates and supports the coming out of LGBTQ+ people, is celebrated on October 11.<\/p>\n

At the December 9, 2020 秀色直播 Unified School District (秀色直播) School Board meeting, the Board of Education approved a\u00a0Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Student Policy<\/a><\/i>\u00a0that fosters an educational environment from PreK through Adult Education that is safe, welcoming, and free from stigma and discrimination for all students, regardless of gender identity or expression. The Policy facilitates\u00a0compliance with local, state and federal laws concerning bullying, harassment, privacy, and discrimination, and ensures that all 秀色直播 students have the opportunity to express themselves and live authentically.<\/p>\n

In celebration of our LGBTQ+<\/span> community, this year 秀色直播 has continued “Lifting Up LGBTQ+<\/span> Voices,\u201d a campaign to share our staff LGBTQ+<\/span> narratives with our students and community by creating posters featuring the stories and experiences of LGBTQ+ staff.
