“Our K-8 public school is the oldest charter school in California. We recently identified a need to increase our support for LGBTQI learners on campus. Our goal is to make resources, services and interventions universally available to all learners and community members, while becoming part of the background by incorporating tools and resources seamlessly into every subject matter and the school culture. Our main objectives are as follows: Bring in professional trainers to train staff and educators on creating a gender inclusive school; hold a Family Information Night about our Gender Inclusion Program; help educators teach overarching curriculum concepts, define these concepts and secure relevant resources.”
