More than 60 million Hispanic people live in the United States; by 2040, that number is expected to exceed 100 million. Currently, 14 million Hispanic children are part of the mosaic of racial and cultural identities represented in public elementary and secondary schools, and these children deserve equitable educational opportunities and programs designed to help them thrive.
With this in mind, the AFT co-convened the State of Latino Education Summit: Learn, Recover, Reimagine and Thrive, a full day of activities within the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators’ 19th National Summit, held March 24-27 in Washington, D.C.
