Fairfax County School Board and Superintendent Brabrand Acknowledge Importance of Juneteenth

The Fairfax County School Board’s agenda today includes a resolution acknowledging the historical significance and importance of Juneteenth, observed annually on June 19th. Additionally, all FCPS employees join state and county employees  in observing Friday, June 19 as an official holiday. Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 that word of the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of the Civil War finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, effectively marking the end of slavery in the United States. 

In a letter to FCPS employees, Superintendent Scott Brabrand expressed his support for the observance and encouraged all employees to use the day to reflect and learn. His letter to staff is posted here.
