Monday, April 18, 2016

I graduated Coconut Creek High School in the late 80s, when it was fully desegregated. They had started slowly re-segregating the school even while I attended it, but it started in earnest in the 90s. Now the school's enrollment is over 90% minority, and over 70% economically-disadvantaged. Such is the way school boards in Florida are now allowed to operate--as if the the ghost of George Wallace (the old, racist one, not the one whose attempted assassination left him paralyzed and with a new, colorblind attitude) were running things.

It is devastatingly sad to hear that new teachers refuse to apply to teach there, and those assigned there either quit outright, or last a handful of months before asking for a transfer or simply walking away from teaching altogether.

The School Boards of the State of Florida are working as hard as hey can to destroy the lives of the two most vulnerable groups in the school system: underprivileged minority students, and new teachers. Shame especially on the School Board of Broward County, whose board is among the worst offenders--right behind Pinellas County. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
