For the past three academic years, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted learning and the relationships between teachers, students, families, and communities that are at the heart of education. Even as school buildings reopened to in-person instruction, periodic quarantines, social distancing, and canceled events had a profound impact on students' academic achievement and mental wellness. For Latino students--the largest ethnic group in the nation's schools--the pandemic threatened to undermine decades of steady educational progress. At the same time, many of the inequities in America's schools that were present before the pandemic remain. This report highlights how policymakers can prioritize the needs of the Latino student population, and in doing so, create a stronger, more equitable education system for all students.
