RECOGNIZING FAMILY DIVERSITY IMPACTS EVERYONE & EVERYONE IS WELCOME!  

*What is the BUSD Family Diversity Task Force?
This group started meeting last year to have a strategic discussion
about how BUSD schools are working to be welcoming for all families,
including LGBT families. BUSD administrators, staff and parents
discuss what can be done and what is being done to integrate LGBT and
general family diversity curriculum into schools, how to make schools
safer and more inclusive, how to work with the parent community and
how to incorporate these issues into overall anti-bullying work.
