The first is from @DDpan of @BostonGlobe, with a historical lens on the impact of busing and on Latinos and the importance of bilingual instruction on student outcomes. A must read: apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/2024/06/…

“The vast majority [of English learners] are not getting the kind of services that they should,” said Alan Rom, a civil rights and labor attorney, who has represented Latino parents in BPS over the years in their fight for equal education.

But just 7% of English learners in BPS are enrolled in dual-language programs and schools, which research shows is the gold standard of bilingual education, improving not only students’ academic outcomes, but their English and native language literacy.

Students learning English in Boston, who represent ~1/3 of the district’s population, lag even further behind. Last year, less than 1/2 of the district’s elementary-age multilingual students and 13% of multilingual high schoolers made progress learning English, per state data.

@DDpan I constructed it with my own data sets and national cost model from schoolfinancedata.org

For the 50th anniversary of desegregation in Boston Public Schools, I wrote about Latino students, who were an afterthought in Judge Garrity’s order and are still fighting for an equal education today: apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/2024/06/…

Today, Latinos make up close to half of the district’s students and ~40% of them are classified as English learners. Their graduation rate in 2023 — 77% — was 10 percentage points lower than that of their white peers. They also had the highest dropout rate last year at 11%.
