Parents, has your child been discriminated against? Has your child been disenfranchised?

Student X

Is your child a Student X?

For our purpose:
In Dekalb County Ga, it is common knowledge that South Dekalb County is the part of the County south of Memorial Dive and is overwhelmingly predominantly Black. 

*****1) Most likely is a student who lives in South Dekalb County, GA who does not/did not have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity of equitable access to high quality programs and has been forced into an academic environment so beneath the student's ability that the student is moving backwards / regressing.

***2) Less likely, but could be a student who lives in South Dekalb County who attends a school that does not meet the student's educational needs.

Purposeful Discrimination?
 

THE BOTTOM LINE
 Race discrimination is a violation of the Civil Rights Act.

  The way high quality educational programs are implemented and accessed in Dekalb County overwhelmingly negatively impacts Blacks students while overwhelmingly positively favoring White students.

This we believe is Purposeful Race Discrimination.

 Overall, Dekalb County School System determines where programs are placed. Dekalb County School System determines who has access to the programs. Lastly, Dekalb County School System determines how the educational programs are access.

Simply put, in the Dekalb County School System,  High Quality Academic programs known as Magnet High Achievers and IB programs are at a current ratio of 7 on the Northside of the
County to 2 on the Southside of the county.

The Dekalb County School System attendance areas, of the IB and Magnet High Achievers programs on the North end of the County, are overwhelmingly predominantly White.  The areas absent of access to the programs are overwhelmingly Black, which are on the South end of the County.

Additionally, the way Dekalb County School System determines access to the programs are based on priority being given to the home attendance area students in the case of the IB programs,
which has a 6 to 1 ratio. Six on the North end of the County and 1 on the South end of the County.

In reference to the Magnet High Achievers programs, which uses the lottery system, on the surface it may look as if equitable access is given.  However, it isn't.  Because of the lack of IB programs on the South end of the County and priority given to home attendees on the North end, the Kittredge and Wadsworth High Achievers' lotteries are escalated to impossible odds for Students on the South end of the County to give them a significant opportunity to access.  And again, the South end of the County's students, who are overwhelmingly predominantly Black, are negatively impacted the most.
