Board members highlighted that the gap, which was over 60 points in 2015-2016, has significantly shrunk in recent years. This improvement reflects a concerted effort to enhance educational support and resources for these students.
One board member referenced a specific example from Subaru, illustrating how achievement gaps have narrowed from previous levels that were as high as 40% to 50%.
