Felt at times, the API community was still being categorized under the model minority myth at the event. I agree and felt youth and parents and/or guardians should have had a place/voice at this event. In addition, my coworker mentioned it would be nice to seen a contrast of the well-to-do Orange County communities such as IUSD with the communities with lower socio-economic status (SES) such as data in the SAUSD and AUSD. Are our high needs communities being served? Would like to see more of the data analyzed.
