A group of minority community leaders in Palm Beach County on Monday said they are in a new alliance to advocate “for the improved academic achievement of students of color.”
Organized by the Coalition for Black Student Achievement, the group also includes the Hispanic Human Resources Council, Palm Beach County Caucus of Black Elected Officials, the West Palm Beach branch of the NAACP, and others.
