The San Bernardino City Unified School District in California has announced that it is not planning to and never considered a proposal to incorporate Ebonics into the school districts curriculum.
A July 17 article in the San Bernardino County Sun reported that the schools new policy would incorporate Ebonics to help low-achieving black students excel academically.
The Sun reported that the pilot, known as the Students Accumulating New Knowledge Optimizing Future Accomplishment Initiative, or SANKOFA, had already been implemented at two city schools.
But Borsuk said the article was misleading and the school district never planned to implement a curriculum that uses Ebonics to teach students.
Instead, the schools new program, the Targeted Instructional Improvement Board Policy, described as a bold approach to providing the best education possible to all students, will address the need to increase academic achievement of African-American students.
The program uses measurable outcomes for black students and other students who are lagging behind in academic achievement, which would include increasing the number of black students in preschool programs, advanced learner, college prep and gateway courses such as Algebra.
