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.
