When school officials talked with Hispanic parents last fall about how the Phoenix-Talent School District has been supporting English- language learners, they heard reports that some pupils were being harassed on school buses.
“There was a perception that discrimination was going on in both ways between white people and Hispanic people,” said Teresa Sayre, Phoenix-Talent schools instructional services director.
Officials in the district serving about 2,700 students — nearly 15 percent of which are English-language learners — wanted to find more ways to promote cultural understanding among staff and students and make the campuses more welcoming. School buses seemed like a good place to start, they said.”*
