ED Set To Release Details Of Los Angeles Civil Rights Probe

The AP (10/11) reports that ED has announced that Education Secretary Arne Duncan will "announce the results of a civil rights investigation that looked into the quality of education Los Angeles Unified School District provides to English learners and black students" and "will outline the terms of a resolution with the nation's second-largest school district on Tuesday." The AP explains that ED's Office for Civil Rights began a compliance review in March of 2012, "to evaluate whether the district's 220,000 English learners were being denied equal education as compared to native English speakers," which was then "expanded to also assess whether black students, particularly those in schools with large black populations, had access to resources comparable to those available to white students."
