Disability History Month is a month-long observance that brings attention to the varied and unique experiences of individuals with disabilities. It’s a time to celebrate their achievements, advocate for their rights, and promote understanding and inclusivity within society. During this period, various events, programs, and advocacy campaigns take place across the country, uniting communities in the spirit of inclusion and acceptance.

At the Wednesday, February 7, 2024 Board of Education Meeting Resolution #23/24-23 In Support of Disability History Month was approved.

Disability History Month serves as a reminder that each student, regardless of their abilities, has the right to be respected, embraced, and provided with opportunities to thrive. Click here to learn more.
Each year, National Women’s History Month offers an opportunity to honor the contributions women have made to our nation and society. CVUSD is proud to recognize the accomplishments of women all year through and especially this March.

The theme for the 2024 National Women's History Month is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.” This theme recognizes “women throughout the country who understand that, for a positive future, we need to eliminate bias and discrimination entirely from our lives and institutions.”
