The Tamalpais Union High School District recently rejected a proposal to allocate $250,000 for the Black Student Success Support Team, which led to significant community backlash. Parents and students expressed concerns over previous incidents of racism and highlighted the program's positive impact on Black students' academic performance and well-being. Supporters of the initiative argued that it has fostered a safer and more inclusive school environment, with favorable feedback from involved students demonstrating its effectiveness in improving attendance and grades over the past year.
‘Last year, we had a multitude of racist incidents in school and out of school by students,’ said Milo DeBerry, a student involved in the program.
‘The amount of change that we've seen in a year with our Black success program with the students, never seen it before’ said Lorenzo Bynum.
