What the task force found was that the environment for African American students is a state of emergency requiring an urgent call to action, a conclusion based on both academic data and surveys of school climate: while test scores for African American students have increased over time, they consistently fall behind that of other ethnic groups at the district by double-digits. Meanwhile, the suspension rate for African American students is twice that of other groups and rising. And on top of the academics, the task force found issues of culture at the district, which undermine African American students and make it harder for their families to engage.
It is hard to blame the schools, the African group comes complete with disruption and missing parents. Africans have, at least, a cultural problem with regard to school behavior. Give the African community responsibility of home schooling for their delinquent kids.
