In 2021 a new California law took effect making Ethnic Studies a graduation requirement for all students. In accordance with the law, high schools must begin to offer Ethnic Studies for all students no later than the 2025-2026 school year. FUHSD will be piloting this new course in the upcoming 2023-24 school year for a small group of students, with current plans to offer one section per school. In FUHSD, Ethnic Studies will be offered as a one-semester course which will meet UC/CSU A-G eligibility (under the G: Electives category), and which will be paired with a semester of Health.

As we continue to develop the course, FUHSD is interested in receiving community input on our Ethnic Studies curriculum prior to it becoming a permanent course/available to all students. As we begin this community feedback process, all FUHSD parents, students and staff members are invited to a community information session on Wednesday, April 12 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Board Room at the FUHSD District Office (589 W. Fremont Ave., Sunnyvale). During the session, participants will have the opportunity to learn more about Ethnic Studies, review a draft unit from the curriculum, share questions and concerns, and provide written feedback. While not all input will be incorporated into the final curriculum, district staff will be carefully reviewing all the written feedback that is provided.

We look forward to sharing more information about Ethnic Studies and the development of this new course on April 12 and hope you will take the opportunity to join us for this community information session.

For our planning purposes, please RSVP at https://forms.gle/TGoUL8VkaGzd2Zxx8 for the session.
