ANCA-B meets with Superintendent Carrizosa
Burbank, CA - On April 16, 2012, Armenian National Committee of America
- Burbank (ANCA -B)
representatives Silva Kechichian, Mariya Kupchyan and Ara K. Manoogian
held a meeting with Burbank Unified School District (BUSD)
Superintendent Stan Carrizosa to discuss possible partnerships and
collaborative efforts between the two parties in the near future.
During the meeting, ANCA-B suggested creating a long term partnership
with BUSD through which students volunteering for the organization
could receive school credit for their efforts. Superintendent Carrizosa
agreed to further explore the idea with school counselors.
Additionally, the group discussed the possibility of launching a
cultural sensitivity program for BUSD teachers through the Armenian
Genocide Institute. Superintendent Carrizosa welcomed the idea as a
voluntary workshop in the coming school year, which would roll over to
mandatory workshops after proven successful. He also welcomed the idea
of mandatory workshops through the Armenian Genocide Institute for all
World History teachers, which would also provide teachers with
supplemental books and course materials to be used in the classroom.
The meeting concluded with further discussions on ANCA Burbank's
participation in the upcoming BUSD College Fair as well as the
implementation of the ANCA's Path to College Program on BUSD campuses.
Established in 2007, PTC workshops cover an array of topics dealing
with graduation requirements, the college admissions process and
financial aid.
`We're extremely pleased with how much we accomplished through this
meeting. In particular, the training program for teachers will be an
excellent way to educate and better prepare these instructors to
communicate with Burbank's youth,' stated ANCA Burbank Chair, Silva
Kechichian.
The Armenian National Committee of America - Burbank advances the
social, economic, cultural and political rights of the area's Armenian
American community and promotes increased Armenian American civic
participation at the grassroots and public policy levels.
