Achieving Educational Equity for New York City’s Newcomer Students Panel Event (Online)


PolicypanelIS-01 PolicypanelIS-02 (2)

Details: Over 30,000 newcomer students have enrolled in NYC public schools since the spring of 2022, and many have previously experienced interruptions in their education.
