According to a previous listing on the University of Minnesota's website, the Multicultural Summer Research Opportunities Program is 'an intensive 10-week summer program in which undergraduate students of color work full-time with a faculty mentor on a research project.' 

Nationwide, schools report that about 10% of students multiple days a week, according to a federal survey from December.
The real number could be even lower: Just 2% of U.S. households say their children are getting that kind of intensive tutoring, according to the of a different nationally representative survey.

A new tutoring corps in Chicago has served about 3% of students, officials said.
The figure was less than 1% in three districts: Georgia´s Gwinnett County, Florida´s Miami-Dade County, and Philadelphia, where the district reported only about 800 students were tutored. In those three systems alone, there were more than 600,000 students who spent no time in a district tutoring program this fall.

In Wake County, North Carolina, the school district began planning a reading tutoring program last summer. The program did not launch until November, and district officials last month said volunteers are tutoring fewer than 140 students - far fewer than the 1,000 students the program was designed to reach.

It was a friend of Jo's. ‘He asked me whether I had heard from her,' says Diana. ‘I said no and he told me the police had called him and asked some odd questions. I knew immediately something was wrong.'

The 10,523-seat arena opened in 1964 as an all-concrete structure built around two giant parabolas.
It has undergone numerous renovations over the years, including a $13 million project that was completed in 2009.

Some parents said they didn´t know tutoring was available or . Some school systems have struggled to hire tutors. Other school systems said the small tutoring programs were intentional, part of an effort to focus on students with the greatest needs.

Harrison Tran, a 10th grader in Savannah, Georgia, struggled to make sense of algebra during remote learning.
Last year, his high school offered after-school help. But that wasn´t feasible for Harrison, who lives 30 minutes from school and couldn´t afford to miss his ride home.

"The progress that he made in just a couple months last semester working with his tutor was kind of far beyond what he was grasping and doing at school," said Jessica Blalack, whose 7-year-old, Phoenix, opted in to after-school tutoring.

The internship previously set out to 'prepare students of color and Native Americans for graduate school' and includes a $6,000 stipend for participants, according to a description on the school's website.

The children's school proved incredibly supportive: ‘They never treated the children as if they were different, whereas the counsellor provided by children's social services would ask Katie and Alex to stay after lessons and speak to her — which made them feel singled out.



Engineering reports found that thermal movement - the daily expansion and contraction of materials that all buildings undergo - as well as misalignment and tight precast joints from the original construction are the primary contributors to chipping concrete.

She is convinced her grandchildren knew that the relationship between their parents had grown toxic and that Jo had suffered for years. ‘They may not have the words to express this, but children know when things are not right,' says Diana.

"Over the summer, we will begin the planning process for further ways to modernize the facility and substantially enhance the fan and student-athlete experience. I think folks are really going to be excited about all that we have in store."

In Georgia´s Fulton County, 3% of the district´s 90,000 students participated in tutoring programs this fall.
Most of the tutoring was offered by paraprofessionals during the school day, with one hired to give intense support in each elementary school.

Yet even as schools wield billions of dollars in federal COVID relief, a small fraction of students have received school tutoring, according to a survey of the nation´s largest districts by the nonprofit news organization Chalkbeat and The Associated Press.

‘I was always there for them, even at night,' says Diana, now 82.
‘When, in the first few years, they woke up feeling sad, they knew they could come to my bed and get a cuddle. My husband moved into another room because he knew I had to be there for them.'

'There is an increasing trend where people think it's OK to discriminate on the basis of race as long as the discrimination is against whites or Asians or others, and we don't accept that,' Cornell Professor William Jacobson said in a recent interview
