Disparities in education, health, and housing share one key underlying factor — structural oppression.
The #BlackWomenBest economic framework would close these gaps, including the racial wealth gap, and help future generations of Black women thrive. bit.ly/BlackWomenBest

For the second time this year, all DC Public School staff & student (N~46K) had to take a COVID test on same day, providing an excellent sample, unbiased by demand for testing or access.
There was a 94% reduction in COVID infection rates from Jan 5 (5.9%) to Feb 27 (0.4%).

7.2% of DCPS staff & 5.5% of students tested positive for COVID yesterday.
At school level, there was a small but significant relationship between student econ disadvantage & positivity rates (weighted by student pop), but no significant relationship with Black student shares.

I'm *all for* pre-k expansion in #MAEdu. But, my problem w/ articles like⬇️is that they don't mention pre-k segregation at all.
If we build on top of an already-segregated system, we lose an opportunity to shape racial empathy in young kids.

School reopen debates have been intense. Now that has announced increased #COVID19 testing availability, what can other school districts, and the state governments that support them, learn from the test-to-return program? My latest.
