science courses required for admission to most engineering schools (National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, 2008)
and talent leaders agreed that “A diverse and inclusive workforce is crucial to encouraging different perspectives and ideas that drive innovation” (Forbes Insights, 2011)
segregated in the U.S., with its high needs school districts comprised of 76% Black and/or Hispanic students (Long Island Index, 2009)
230,000 students in grades 9-12. The district is considered high needs since 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student body is 70% underrepresented minority (NYCDOE, 2012).
