equal access to advanced course work in high school as well as postsecondary schooling and graduate work.
As part of the agreement, which the district agreed
to enter prior
to any OCR compliance determinations, the district committed
to take specific actions
to ensure that it is providing an
equal opportunity and
equal access for black students
to participate in its college and career preparatory programs, in particular its
advanced courses and enrichment programs, IB program, AP
courses, honors
courses, and dual enrollment
courses.
