• 66% of our students are considered
  economically disadvantaged, and were
  struggling with the negative impacts of
  hunger, homelessness, housing insecurity
  and extreme poverty before the COVID-19
  pandemic.
• The pandemic has added new levels of trauma
  and dislocation for students and their families
  that will require extensive intervention and
  support—academically, physically, socially and
  emotionally.
• English learners and students with disabilities
  struggled the most during remote learning.
