[by Hilary Clark]:
Motion to adjust the school calendar to identify the second Monday in October as a celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day and abolish the use of Columbus Day. In addition, Lowell Public Schools will establish an Indigenous Peoples Day Committee to develop and implement the commemoration of Indigenous Peoples Day, including instruction in the schools on the culture, history, and diversity of Indigenous peoples. These steps will reaffirm the district’s commitment to equity, ensuring that all people are treated with respect, dignity, and cultural understanding; and seeks to combat prejudice and eliminate discrimination by promoting awareness, understanding, and accurate truths and history of Indigenous peoples across our District and beyond.
