The district is indeed making progress, but addressing long-standing inequities requires sustained efforts. To bring underperforming areas to the desired goals, it’s essential to provide consistent funding, sufficient time, and quality education. Additionally, wraparound services—such as mental health support, family engagement programs, and community resources—are crucial. These elements work together to create an environment where all students, especially those in underperforming categories, can thrive and meet their potential. Closing the gaps demands a comprehensive, long-term commitment to equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students.
