Three elementary schools were shuttered due to low enrollment, but Latino parents say their children 's education has unfairly suffered.
The parents of seven Latino elementary school students are suing the Pasadena Unified School District for discrimination after the district’s 2019 closure of three elementary schools with a large Latino enrollment, according to a complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Victor Camacho and daughter Naomi, 5, a kindergartner at Jefferson Elementary, join protesters in the fall of 2019 outside the Pasadena Unified School Board meeting, where school closures were being debated.The three schools that closed and the schools that received the influx of new students from those schools enrolled a majority of Latino students, according to the lawsuit. None of the closed schools were in the eastern part of the district, which has a higher percentage of white students.
Pasadena Unified has 14,542 students based on the most recent attendance figures provided by the state, which are from the 2021-22 school year. That’s down from 16,881 in the 2017-18 school year.
