Is it really the district or lack of support at home?
So Schools and the community can work as hard as possible but if the parents do not do their part there will be failure.
Just one question ... what are the parents of these students doing to help their kids succeed?
Desegregation never works because it works AGAINST the natural propensity to self-segregate for rational reasons.
they already spend more than it would cost for private school on these kids.
Putting minority kids in with the ‘better’ kids will only improve their performance. You don’t get better playing against slugs.
Seems to me that's the student's responsibility...
Disband ALL PUBLIX-Use buildings for Immigration Detention Sites
I MIGHT be for yet another public school district in Texas, as long as none of the “activists” are allowed to work for it.
But ... could there be another way? Why ...
They could form their own state charter school, siphon off students and state funds, stuff the payroll with their relatives and girlfriends and then ignore the students, and complain that their parents don't support them, etc.
Not happy with Austin ISD? Then open your own state approved charter school. That's how the legislature set up the process.

The activists, with the above, clearly identify themselves not as primarily concerned with academic anything, and instead primarily focused on a political agenda. They want real academics subsumed below that agenda.
