school districts, Erase Racism Initiative
A 2002 study commissioned by the Erase Racism Initiative of the
Long Island Community Foundation reported that ''in 1999, 10 Long
Island school districts had student poverty levels of more than 40
percent. In all but one of these 10 districts at least 60 percent of
students were students of color.'' And, as we know, students attend
school in the communities where they live, those being largely
segregated communities. The report then states that ''more than half
of Long Island's African-American and Hispanic students are
concentrated in just 13 districts, each of which has a student body
that is over 60 percent students of color.'' A pattern of segregated
school district attendance by anyone's measure! [nyt]
