Take APISBMA's Ethnic Studies Survey
Deadline: August 25, 2023
Dear School Board Trustees and esteemed Superintendents and Assistant Superintendents,
As many of you may know, Asian Pacific Islander School Board Members Association (APISBMA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging and supporting thoughtful coordinated research and evaluating and developing appropriate policies and practices to serve the needs of Asian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) students and their families.
To be a support network for Asian Pacific Islander school board members we strive to:
- Encourage greater participation by AANHPI board members in the California School Boards Association;
- Promote and develop an educational curriculum which more adequately represents the contributions and viewpoint of Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islanders; and
- Develop coalitions with other educational, ethnic, and community organizations to promote equitable and quality education for all children.
- Encourage every district to disaggregate their students who fall under "Asian" to learn how specific ethnic groups are doing.
APISBMA would like each 9th-12th Grade District to take a brief survey so that we may recognize and/or provide resources to support school districts in the process of implementing Ethnic Studies. Please verify with the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum if your district has completed some of the steps in the process depending on your district’s unique needs and resources by August 25, 2023.

Together we will positively change and improve the educational outcomes for all students.
In respectful support,
Asian Pacific Islander School Board Members Association (APISBMA)
