Second Vermont School Hopes to Fly Black Lives Matter Flag

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Students at another Vermont high school hope to raise a Black Lives Matter flag.

WPTZ-TV reports Burlington High School student Eli Pine presented a plan Tuesday to the school board's Diversity and Equity Committee. Pine has collected over 400 signatures for a petition to annually raise a Black Lives Matter flag at the school.

Students at Montpelier High School began flying a Black Lives Matter flag earlier this month.

Pine says students want to raise the flag for Black History Month beginning in February until the end of the school year. Pine says black history is given a month when it should be taught year-round.

Superintendent Yaw Obeng commended the students on their effort. The students must draft a resolution to be approved by the board.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
