(The Center Square) – The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has reopened an investigation into the Los Angeles Unified School District’s Black Student Achievement Plan following a request from Defending Education, which alleges the program allocates funds and resources based on race in violation of Title VI. 

The complaint targeted LAUSD’s Black Student Achievement Plan, launched in 2021 to improve academic outcomes and well-being for Black students through culturally responsive teaching and expanded family and community engagement, The Center Square previously reported.
