Hispanic teachers still a rare find in Dallas, Texas (if you can’t find Hispanic teachers in Texas, I am betting it is harder to find them in most other states)

“In the Dallas area, more than one-third of the students in the 2004-05 school year were Hispanic, according to a survey of area districts.

But less than one in 10 teachers was Hispanic.

Experts and administrators say improving that ratio goes beyond aggressive recruiting. There are not enough Hispanic teacher candidates to go around, and there won’t be until more Hispanic students make it through college.”
