The San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) unanimously passed a formal resolution on Tuesday night, affirming their commitment to providing a diverse, peaceful, safe and tolerant environment for all students.
The resolution comes a little more than a month after President-elect Donald Trump's win in the 2016 election.
It was passed with a 5-0 vote during Tuesday night's SDUSD board meeting.
The resolution addresses concerns students and their families have over the President-elect's promise to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants currently residing in the U.S.
Next week, SDUSD will also host the Celebration of Light on Dec. 14 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Ballard Parent Center.
According to its website, the event is "to support the right of all students, regardless of race, color, national origin, immigration status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or religion to be educated in an environment free from fear, violence and intimidation."
