The research is clear: when students feel safe, supported and included in school, their learning increases, their engagement increases, and more graduate from high school who are college and career ready.  At the Santa Cruz County Office of Education, we want all of our students to feel safe, supported and included.  

Teaching & celebrating LGBTQ+ history, raising the rainbow flag and celebrating Harvey Milk's birthday in May is one way to make LGBTQ+ students feel safe and visible in the curriculum. 

We continue to build our cadre of educators interested in talking and sharing about Teaching & Celebrating LGBTQ+ History. If you would like to be on our list, then just add your name to this form.

Are you Raising the Rainbow Flag and have some questions or would like some support?  We would love to hear from you! Use the contact information below.
