As we have been reading this week, a number of very serious issues have come up in our community and others related to the labor leader Cesar Chavez.
We are in the process of identifying any images posted on buildings or facilities of the District and we will work with staff and students at each site to determine the best remediation plan.
While we navigate through these issues, the Oxnard Union High School remains committed to serving the students and families in our Farmworker community and ensuring their educational opportunities through the programs and services offered by the District.
Additionally, in our March 11th Board Meeting the Board of Trustees of the Oxnard Union High School District approved Resolution 26-12 Proclaiming the Month of April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month
This resolution was presented by our two student Trustees and delivered very powerfully.
From Board President Sher:
Every child deserves a powerful future. When abuse occurs, it can impact that future for decades and generations.
Dolores Huerta, Ana Murguia, and Debra Rojas, along with other survivors are incredibly brave for coming forward. When those in positions of power misuse their influence, often targeting the most vulnerable for abuse, they break the very sense of trust and safety that young people deserve.
For those who are wondering what this means for celebrating our Farmworker community. Our focus will remain on the strength, resilience, and contributions of our Farmworker community, not on any one individual.
To our students: you deserve a strong and hopeful future. Please know that there are people on your campus who care deeply about your well being and are ready to support you. Reach out to your school’s Wellness Center or a trusted adult. No one should have to navigate this alone.
Yours respectfully,
Tom
Tom McCoy, Ed.D.
Superintendent
Oxnard Union High School District
