School Board needs to address achievement gap

TO THE EDITOR:

I was wondering if the following could be asked of those running for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools school board?

Currently, there is a lot of focus on helping struggling students to close the achievement gap, especially African-American, Latino and low-income students.

What experience or ideas do the candidates have with the issues surrounding this group of students, and how do you plan to help the district close the achievement gap and help all students be successful?
