16-1101 Presentation to the Board of Education of Asian Pacific Islander Survey by Director Aimee Eng and Asian Pacific Islander Youth Promoting Advocacy & Leadership (AYPAL).
AIWA empowers limited-English speaking, low-income immigrant women and youth to become their own advocates for positive change. 80% our youth are ELL OUSD students. Their first language is Cantonese and most arrived in the US within the last 5 years. Marginalized communities face similar but different challenges; the common thread is that we need to work together for equity in our schools and communities. Disaggregated data helps us understand how to do that.
I have worked with the children of Cambodian American families for five years and would like to present a snapshot of the families in order to bring awareness to their specific needs.
