October 10, 2022 Indigenous Peoples' Day

Rochester Public Schools Announcement

Rochester Public Schools is proud to recognize Indigenous People's today, October 10th.

“Indigenous Peoples’ Day, at its core, aims to celebrate and honor the past, present, and future of Native peoples throughout the United States and acknowledges the legacy of colonialism, which has devastated Indigenous communities historically and continues to negatively impact them today. More importantly, however, Indigenous Peoples’ Day moves beyond the narrative of oppression and honors the histories, cultures, contributions, and resilience of contemporary Native peoples.” – IlumiNative

American Indian Education at RPS , in partnership with our Native community and support from the district, celebrates the diverse meaning of being Indigenous every day. RPS works to make American Indian Education a vital part of the school experience not just for our Native American students but for the community as a whole. Join us as we recognize the ancestral Dakota land our community resides on and celebrate the contributions of our indigenous community.

The Rochester Public School District is taking the first steps to address a disproportionate disciplinary rate for black and Hispanic students. A community engagement session to get input and solicit involvement from community members will be held at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 7 at Riverside Elementary School. I believe that conversation is necessary but not sufficient. We need to follow up with actions. Here is a 5+1 action plan.
