The five-year plan will address legislation, policies, state testing results, research and data analysis.“According to state statistics, our students of color have the highest percentage of absenteeism and the lowest standardized test scores,” said Diana Daniels, executive director of the Indiana Council of Educating Students of Color. “As a community, we must come together to understand why this is true and plot a course to reverse these and other unhealthy trends that continue to keep Brown’s promise unmet.”To register for the event, visit https://bity.ly/IndyEdNov.
