This symposium convenes educators, policymakers, youth, and community leaders to reflect on key themes from Critical Perspectives on Latino Education in Massachusetts and to develop strategies for safeguarding educational pathways (K-16) in these uncertain times.
With so much at stake for Latino students and families, this gathering aims to spark meaningful dialogue, foster collaboration, and strengthen our collective efforts to protect and expand educational opportunities for Latino children and youth across the Commonwealth.

The terms Hispanic, Latina, Latino, Latine and Latinx are used to refer to individuals of ethnic, racial, national origin and/ or ancestry that stems from Latin America. We acknowledge on going debates regarding the appropriate term to use. For this project we have chosen to use Latino. We also use the terms that are used by the referenced authors.
