Question - while I am super happy they are picking up your research, I am a little surprised they aren't honing more in on enrollment loss and bad achievement for Black/Brown students during Horton's tenure. DeKalb student population is 80%+ Black and Hispanic and in yesterday's AJC article, two of their board members said “Board members were most impressed with Dr. Horton’s innovative approaches that have consistently led to demonstrated success in dramatically improving student achievement for all students.". I just don't understand how they could say that. I have seen ZERO data that shows any student achievements. In fact, it's quite the opposite. So what info. are they relying on? Data from before D65? Any ideas?

Their enrollment numbers are coming from an out of date D65 website: https://www.district65.net/Page/2508
