The district is seeking parents, staff and community members to be part of the K-5 Gender Identity Materials Task Force . (I have a call in to ask how many members there will be on the task force.) This year-long Task Force will be vetting materials and helping create literacy-based lessons with gender-focused books appropriate for K-5 classrooms. Specifically, the focus will be on gender expression and gender identity. Task Force members will be selected to represent diverse perspectives. If you are interested in applying to be a part of the Task Force, please complete our online application process before November 14, 2016.
