Susan is a PK-12 Literacy Supervisor at Saint Paul Public schools. 

The literacy committee from the concerned parents of ANEW BAM has begun a conversation to discuss a series of solutions to improve the number of black students proficient rates. Only 21% of African American students are reading at grade level in Saint Paul Schools. 

Only 1 out of every 20 students can read at grade level. 

This conversation will discuss the equity gaps black children face in the following:



Distant learning



In reading levels



The 5 essential pillars for reading



Community in schools



Live Q & A for recommendations
