Despite some progress over the ensuing seven years and high aspirations for college and career success held by Black students and families, Black students continue to experience among the highest rates of chronic absenteeism, are the least likely to be supported to reach grade-level standards in math and reading, and graduate from high school and enroll in college at lower rates than their peers. Much more work remains to be done by state and local leaders to eradicate disparities in opportunities and to clear the path for all Black students to thrive. The Eastside Union School District (EUSD), located in southern California, provides an example of how system leaders can intentionally undertake this critical work. This case study highlights EUSD's implementation of strategies focused on improving educational experiences and supports for Black students and families, uplifting both promising practices and emerging challenges during the early stages of the process. The authors hope this case study will inspire districts across the state to adopt proven equity-centered practices and to adapt strategies to fit their unique local contexts.
