Abstract | Even before the pandemic, systemic racial and social inequities meant that Latinx students had less access to high-quality instruction and teaching than white students, were tracked into less rigorous courses, were met with lower expectations, and ultimately experienced opportunity gaps that hindered educational and economic development (U.S. Department of Education, 2021). The pandemic exacerbated these patterns (Fortuna et al., 2020). COVID-19 illness has affected Latinx populations more than others. Latinx families make up 18.5% of the U.S population but account for 29.5% of COVID-19 cases, and hospitalizations for Latinx are 4.6 times the rate of their white peers (NIHCM, 2020; Romano et al., 2021). Research suggests that school leaders should start by prioritizing professional learning for staff, advocating for structural and systemic changes, and building intentional partnerships with families. As educators and school systems work together to address and allocate funding such as COVID relief funds to ameliorate the impact of COVID-19, they must understand that going back to business as usual would continue to place Latinx students and their families in a system designed to exclude them and exacerbate the opportunity gap.
