Equity gaps in Lawrence district high school achievement
A KU panel discusses racial disparities in college readiness among Lawrence district high school students. White students show about 36 percent college-ready in math while Black students hover near 12 percent. Native American and Hispanic students also trail. Panelists call equity more than numbers, stressing social and emotional needs and stronger engagement with teachers. Community leaders note leadership gaps and urge board diversity to address the disparities.
