The big story: The Trump Administration’s push to eliminate programs that assist one demographic group to the exclusion of others has come to Florida schools.
The Department of Education ordered the Seminole County school district to end its Latinos in Action courses, aimed at helping Latino teens complete high school, saying the program “may be discriminating based on race.”
The district announced it will cancel the program. Its move comes a week after the Broward County school system took similar steps because of an order it received from the federal government.
Seminole officials told the Orlando Sentinel that they will create a new program called Leaders in Action, which will focus on some of the same objectives.
Latinos in Action previously operated in Hillsborough County schools, but a district spokesperson said it no longer offers the courses or programs. Read more from the Orlando Sentinel.
