Let the Broward School Board know where you stand
This issue is going to be decided this Tuesday 9-13-05, please contact any school board member and let them know you support it. Email: Schoolboard@browardschools.com
Resolution Unanimously Passed by Council of Club Presidents
Resolution addressing Non-Discrimination Policy of School Board
The Democratic Party is dedicated to the preservation and establishment of equal rights for all Americans.
At no time is it acceptable to facilitate, nor tolerate the violation of any American's civil rights for political gain.
There was and still is a shameful part of our American experience that targeted discrimination and injustice based on a person's race; it is equally unacceptable when directed toward the GLBT, or any other, community.
At no time is it acceptable for an elected School Board member in Broward County to appoint or hire anyone who would seek to restrict or eliminate the civil rights of any group of people. Discrimination and intolerance are not part of the message that should be instilled in the youth of today. It is time that we lead and teach by our own positive examples.
As provided in Section 1.5, Sub-Section 3a of the Broward County School Board Policy
"The School Board of Broward County, Florida prohibits any policy or procedure which results in discrimination on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, marital status, race, religion or sexual orientation. The School Board is committed to providing schools that promote cultural diversity, tolerance, and fair play, and reinforce the positive tenets of a democratic society."
It is imperative that the non-discrimination policies of the Broward County School Board be enforced and utilized for the protection and education of all students and staff. It is also imperative that all members of the School Board and its' committees be required to abide by these policies as well as receive diversity training.
We are hereby supporting that the following changes be made to Section 1.7, Article 8 of the Broward County School Board policy:
The School Board Member shall communicate with their appointee to ensure that they appropriately represent the view(s), opinion(s), and direction(s) of the School Board Member. All appointees must agree to abide by the non-discrimination policies of the Broward County School Board and the rules of conduct for meetings as provided by Robert's Rules of Order (New Revised). Any appointee who refuses or willfully fails to abide by the non-discrimination policies of the School Board may be removed by a majority vote of the Board.
Resolution unanimously passed by Council of Club Presidents on 9/10/05
