Students of color are being left far behind according to every indicator of academic achievement, when compared to white students. The Salem/Keizer Coalition for Equality is a multi-racial community organization that promotes equality in the education system. They have organized hundreds of mostly Spanish-speaking parents to be strong community leaders for education reform in order to eliminate the student achievement gap.
