In Clinton
Public Schools, a suburban district outside of Jackson, officials have tried to deal with
inadequate funding by cutting
teacher assistants from second - and third - grade classes.
The NAACP report documents the consequences of this abandonment:
inadequate funding of urban
schools, a lack of accountability and oversight for charter
school, most of which are concentrated
in urban communities, the disproportionate exclusionary discipline of Black students, high
teacher turnover, and an absence of
teachers of color
in both charters and traditional
public schools.
