Education
The education Black children receive is, by necessity, in two parts: in formal educational
settings like schools and at home. Our education should lead us to a fulfilling career and
the freedom to live our lives. Seven months into the pandemic, statewide enrollment in the
public K-12 system dropped by 40,000 students.44 Even with a return to in-person schooling,
it still has not returned to previous levels. The discussion around educating Black children
is evolving. Black parents may be exploring options outside the public school system. They
are looking for different avenues that help their children think critically about the world and
move steadily toward self-actualization.
