The Armenian National Committee of America - Glendale (ANCA-Glendale)
welcomed the Glendale Unified School District announcement that it had
reached an agreement with the Glendale Teachers Association on
designating April 24, 2014 as a student free/non-work day.
`We commend the Glendale Unified School District and the Glendale
Teachers Association on their willingness to support the desire of
their students to properly pay tribute to the victims of the Armenian
Genocide without having to be absent from classes,' stated
ANCA-Glendale Chairman Berdj Karapetian.
The ANCA-Glendale Education Committee chairperson Hilma Balaian
thanked the School Board members for their leadership and efforts to
find a balanced solution that addresses the needs of the students,
community, employees, and administration.
Balaian added that a large number of students and employees have been
absent or taken time off in the past when April 24 has fallen on an
instructional day.
Karapetian encouraged community members to attend next week's School
Board meeting to express their appreciation to the Board members,
administration, teachers, and other employees of the GUSD.
The ANCA-Glendale advocates for the social, economic, cultural, and
political rights of the city's Armenian American community and
promotes increased civic participation at the grassroots and public
policy levels.
