NAACP Branch is Seeking Answers to Low Performing Schools
A couple of weeks ago the California Department of Education released a report that landed 11 schools in theSan Bernardino City Unified School District at the bottom of the pile in the state. The first report showed other neighboring districts had the same problem but for some reason they were removed the next day. A week later members of West Side Action Group (WAG) decided tocall a press conference in front of the district office tohighlight its concerns because the kids at the bottom are African Americans. The same is true in the surroundingdistricts as well as in county operated schools.
School Board President Danny Tillman, rebutted at the conference that some of the actions by the Department of education and WAG are politically motivated because Arturo Delgado, Superintendent of San Bernardino CitySchools is running for the County Superintendent of Schools against appointed incumbent Gary Thomas. Some people are supporting Thomas and others Delgado. ents has anything to brag about when it comes to educating Black students, which is my greatest concern.
The NAACP San Bernardino Branch is holding a meeting to try and uncover the facts and focus on educating our children.
I hope they will be able to shed light on the crisis wehave in our educational system locally and in Sacramento.
