Parents Continue Fight for High Needs Students in Long Beach

Mar. 5, 2019 / By and

Long Beach parents attended a forum Saturday to address, in their view, two disparities: achievement gaps and funding gaps across the school district.

Organized by local advocacy group Long Beach Forward, the forum also pinned solutions to include more equity and resources for high-needs students (which include English leaners, foster children, and low-income students across the district) and more afterschool support for students and parents.
