The Glendale Unified School District (GUSD) has passed a resolution to mark April 24th as a “Day of Commemoration for the Armenian Genocide,” the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reports.
GUSD will be the first school district in the nation to have all of its schools closed in honor of that day.
“This is a great day for HyeTad and all those who fight for justice and the memory of those we lost during the Armenian Genocide,” ANCA said in a Facebook post.
