Hispanic students and their families have spent too much time as a silent, suffering minority in public schools, Palm Beach County Hispanic leaders told school board member Debra Robinson on Tuesday.

Like black students, Hispanic ones are suspended more often than whites, do worse on standardized tests, drop out more frequently and are classified as disabled disproportionately. And they are easily overlooked and under-informed because many parents don’t know English and the students may still be learning to speak it, Robinson was told.
