Worcester Mayoral Commission on Latino Education and Advancement
The Worcester Mayoral Commission on Latino Education and Advancement's report "A Way Forward: Latino Youth and Families in Worcester" was the response to Worcester community concerns about opportunities for Latino families and equity in education. Mayor Joseph Petty appointed Luis G. Pedraja and Mary Jo Marion to lead a multisector effort resulting in this report that includes actionable recommendations to achieve equity in Latinx education. Pedraja and Marion built a commission that integrated representatives from public schools, higher education, community-based organizations, and community leaders.
