The communities surrounding Belmont and Lincoln High Schools (LAUSD) in inner-city Los Angeles have been the context of many struggles for social justice over the past several decades. These school communities have historically been under-served by the schooling system and plagued by dismal academic outcomes. Moreover, students and parents from these communities have seldom been invited to participate in efforts to improve these inequitable conditions. Supported by the UCLA Center for Community Partnerships, this report is the result of a collaborative project between the Southeast Asian Community Alliance (SEACA) and Principal Investigator, Professor Kris Gutiérrez (UCLA).
