This recorded webinar (webinar 4 on linked page) acknowledges the correlation between high school graduation and health disparities. More than half of all students attending public school live in poverty, and two-thirds of African American and fewer than three-quarters of Latino students will graduate on time. Also examines how current policies and practices in educational systems disproportionately impact students of color and ultimately contribute to disproportionate dropout rates.
