Multiple times a week, Jose Carrasco of Austin Voices spends hours driving around neighborhoods in North Austin searching for students the district can’t find. District leaders, principals and teachers worry some of their students that are missing will struggle to catch up once schools reopen. The coronavirus pandemic’s effect on schooling is widening the already pervasive gap as learning opportunities and advancement often are tired to access to resources, family wealth and parents education. “The kids are definitely not missing,” Carrasco said. “It’s just that the situations are just so different for a community like Rundberg compared to a community like West Austin.” #austin #texas #atx #austinvoices #pandemic #covid19 #coronavirus #aisd #dobiemiddleschool 🎥 brontewittpenn
