Federal Effort to Boost Latino Educational Success Aims at Santa Ana - California

“To help address that disconnect, the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans is holding a conference in Santa Ana this week. The focus is to help Latino children across the nation break down the barriers that Montiel faced, increase Latino family involvement, eliminate the achievement gap between Latino students and their classmates, and boost access to college.

Santa Ana was chosen because of its sizable Latino population and its school district’s success in building alliances with community groups, higher-education institutions, charities, local governments and corporations. “
