While some data sets treat Hispanic origin as a distinct category, allowing for dinstinct counts of Hispanic blacks, Hispanic whites, etc., in the DOE data, Hispanic is treated as a race, so each student is either Hispanic, Black, White or another race.
Recommendations included granting the Council greater oversight of the Department of Education, expanding the power of the Independent Budget Office to analyze DOE data, and strengthening the role of community superintendents and parental governance structures.
See DOE data page 67 and WNA Fermi 3 data.
