LA Schools to Reveal Civil Rights Probe Results

Los Angeles - The U.S. Department of Education says it plans to announce the results of a civil rights investigation that looked into the quality of education Los Angeles Unified School District provides to English learners and black students.

The department announced Monday that U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan will outline the terms of a resolution with the nation's second-largest school district on Tuesday.

The department's civil rights office launched a "compliance review" in March 2010 to evaluate whether the district's 220,000 English learners were being denied equal education as compared to native English speakers.

The inquiry was expanded to also assess whether black students, particularly those in schools with large black populations, had access to resources comparable to those available to white students.
