![“When discretion [over instructional practices] leads to students of color and students with disabilities disproportionately being denied access to instruction at two or three times the rate of their white peers, for multiple years in a row, it’s absolutely appropriate for the DOE to intervene in a manner that breaks the cycle of abysmal outcomes.” - Lauren Morando Rhim, NCSECS Executive Director.
