Kim Janey on disparities for black and Latinx males in Boston
Kim Janey, MAC Senior Program Director, was quoted in the Baystate Banner this week. The recent release of a Boston Public Schools report revealed significant disparities in outcomes and access to educational opportunities for black and Latinx males in the Boston schools.
“It’s very sobering, but it’s not new,” Janey said. “It highlights inequities that have been around for decades — for example, that black boys are being placed in substantially separate classrooms. Research shows that students do better in inclusive classrooms. We need to make sure students get the services they need, but are also learning alongside their peers.”
