In honor of Black History Month, the Kent Black Action Commission (KBAC) joins the Seattle Chapter of the A. Philip Randolph Institute and the Washington State Christian Coalition in hosting the Charles Rolland African American Legislative Day on Feb. 20.<\/p>\n
The Kent School District will provide transportation for students to Olympia for a day of exposure to the state’s legislative process and its many lawmakers. The visit to the Capitol is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
Parent permission slips are required. Students who wish to ride down with the group will need to be at Kent-Meridian High School by 7:30 a.m. to depart by 8. This will be the only pickup\/drop-off point for this year’s event.<\/p>\n
A light breakfast and lunch will be prepared for all who attend and participate in the day’s activities. The group expects to return by 4 p.m., no later than 4:30, barring traffic.<\/p>\n
