Black Students Thrive

  • Stockton Unified School District (SUSD) has prioritized a goal based on community engagement and parent advisory council input to address historical inequities affecting African American/Black students. The district recognizes longstanding disparities in educational outcomes between African American/Black students and their non-Black peers, citing structural and instructional barriers as contributing factors. Inspired by local and national advocacy for racial equity, as well as the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, SUSD aims to improve chronic absenteeism, suspension rates, and academic achievement for African American students through increased transparency and progress monitoring. This goal will be reflected in strategic documents such as the African American Black Student Achievement Plan (AABSAP) and the Educator Gap Equity Plan, with data and targets for all Black students reported by district teams.
