WHEREAS a proposal has been submitted to the President of the Board of Education to rename and dedicate the Cedar Place School as the Cesar E. Chavez School, and
WHEREAS Cesar E. Chavez was a true American hero - a civil rights advocate who championed nonviolent social change defending the rights of Latinos and farm laborers, a community organizer and social entrepreneur, a genuinely religious and spiritual figure, and a crusader for the environment and consumer rights. Chavez’s commitment to social change was drawn from the nonviolent civil disobedience of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. The Cesar Chavez Foundation’s mission is to enrich and improve the lives of Latino families, meeting their essential human, cultural and community needs. In 1994, Chavez was presented posthumously with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and
WHEREAS the Trustees have reviewed the proposal and affirm that the request meets the criteria set forth in Policy 7500.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: that we, the Members of the Board of Education, do hereby affirm the renaming and dedication of the Cedar Place School.
