Latino teachers are scarce in Minnesota – While Minnesota’s Latino population is booming, Latino teachers are hard to find.
Tagged: Minnesota, population, teacherPosted on: September 16th, 2007“Between 2000 and 2005, the number of documented Minnesota Latinos jumped 29 percent to 701,811 — 14 percent of the state’s population. Latino enrollment in some Minnesota schools is as much as 30 percent.
But those U.S. Census estimates aren’t matched by the number of Latino teachers, especially in Greater Minnesota. While 30 percent of Minnesota Latinos live in Minneapolis or St. Paul, 42 percent of the state’s Latino teachers work there. Of the total of 368 Latino teachers in Minnesota, 156 work in the St. Paul or Minneapolis districts, leaving 212 for the rest of the state.”
