Essay / Research Paper Abstract
10 pages in length. Reveling in its recent title of being one of the nation's top five urban school districts, the San Francisco Bay Area urban school district continues to thrive amidst an ongoing struggle of budget cuts, corruption and chaos, and cultural determinism. The district, which was established in 1851 and currently boasts a staff of over seven thousand educators and administrators who teach more than sixty thousand students in one hundred sixty schools, has long upheld its steadfast determination toward academic equity amidst its vast and diverse student population. Because of the Bay Area's rich and diverse cultural composition, certain issues of ethnic concern have typically plagued its urban school district, most notably the extent to which minority students are not fully assimilated into an academic program that is decidedly English based.
