In many cases, districts with large populations of minority students tended to receive less state money. The problem is being tackled with new initiatives.
"I've been doing many programs in the school. I've joined so many clubs, and I've enjoyed every single one of them," Samuel Hasfal said. Data obtained by CBS shows from 2015-2020, the majority of students were minority - 10% Black, 84% HIspanic, 4% White - and 80% of students received free or reduced price lunches. According to the data, the district received $25.39 per student in state funding to pay for building investments.
"It's much more than having a prettier building. Those are smart boards in the classrooms, those are laptop computers. In the middle of COVID, those schools already had laptops and everything for their students. Over here I had to come up with several hundred thousand, otherwise our students couldn't learn at home," Ramos said.
"For Shoreham-Wading revenue, about 80% comes from the local tax base. We get about 20% from aid and grants," Ramos said. "It's really easy to get into any of these programs. Everyone is so inviting - hey, come do this, come do that," Mango said."When you actually have a teacher that cares about you, you say hey, you know, it's not just a boring old class. I have someone that cares about me. I want do well for them and for me." "No matter what your interests are, there is some group here that you can get along with," Linda Mango said.
