On March 20th, 2019 the District of Columbia State Board of Education ceremonial resolution was officially passed, recognizing the Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action, CR19-6. The resolution, proposed by Ward 8 member and Vice President of the State Board of Education, Markus Batchelor, received unanimous consent. This is a victory and testament to the work of 450+ D.C. educators from over 150 schools, during the 2019 Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action. The resolution recognizes that this work is ongoing, with this concluding statement:

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the State Board invites educators across grade levels and content areas to use inclusive resources to enrich instruction throughout the whole year, not just one week or month.
