‘Black and brown’ pupils to receive priority schooling because ‘racism was a pandemic before corona’, district rules

However, they also revealed that if too many pupils applied for the limited number of slots available for “on-site learning”, then “black and brown” kids would be catered for first along with poorer students and those who have struggled academically. “But there was a pandemic before this.

“I've heard for quite some time that this is a community that's about equity for black and brown students, for special education students, for LGBTQ students.
