The 2024 Increase Teachers of Color Act in Minnesota, through SF4107 (Kunesh) and HF4500 (Clardy), aims to enrich the teaching workforce with more BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) educators. This initiative targets closing opportunity gaps by enhancing recruitment, preparation, employment, and retention efforts to better reflect the diversity of Minnesota's student body. Key to this initiative is the proposed $10 million for the Aspiring Teachers of Color Scholarship program, alongside significant funding for mentorship and retention ($5 million) and the Collaborative Urban and Greater MN Educators of Color Grants ($1 million). While it seems the bill may not pass this legislative session, it has sparked crucial dialogue about institutionalizing the scholarship program. This conversation indicates a growing recognition of the need for sustained efforts to enhance the diversity of Minnesota's educational workforce, setting the stage for future legislative actions and long-term changes. Sobre la Ley de Aumento de Profesores de Color

Aunque parece que el proyecto de ley no pasar? en esta sesi?n legislativa, ha desencadenado un di?logo crucial sobre la institucionalizaci?n del programa de becas. Esta conversaci?n indica un reconocimiento creciente de la necesidad de esfuerzos sostenidos para mejorar la diversidad de la fuerza laboral educativa de Minnesota, preparando el escenario para futuras acciones legislativas y cambios a largo plazo.

As Women?s History Month comes to a close, we want to highlight the achievements of Latina/e women and their fights for equality and equity in every field. A study by the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute?s Latino Data Hub reveals a promising trend: more Latinas are earning a bachelor?s degree or higher, rising from nearly 1 million in 2000 to a substantial 3.5 million in 2021. The Latino Data Hub indicates that the proportion of Latina adults holding a bachelor?s degree or higher almost quadrupled from 5.4% in 2000 to 20% in 2021. However, the study reveals persistent disparities: Latinas with a bachelor?s degree or higher earn lower wages compared to their Latino and white male counterparts.?
Termina el Mes de la Historia de la Mujer, pero queremos seguir destacando los logros de las mujeres Latinas/es y su lucha por la igualdad y la equidad en todos los campos. Un estudio del Latino Data Hub del Instituto de Pol?ticas y Pol?tica Latina de UCLA revela una tendencia prometedora: m?s Latinas est?n obteniendo un t?tulo de licenciatura o superior, aumentando de casi 1 mill?n en el 2000, a 3.5 millones en 2021. El Latino Data Hub indica que la proporci?n de adultas Latinas que poseen un t?tulo de licenciatura o superior casi se cuadruplic? del 5.4% en 2000 al 20% en 2021. Sin embargo, el estudio revela disparidades persistentes: las Latinas con un t?tulo de licenciatura o superior ganan salarios m?s bajos en comparaci?n con sus contrapartes masculinas Latinos y blancos.

Erick Garc?a Luna, Director of Regional Outreach for the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, produced an economic study about the profile of Mexican immigrants in the region and how they contribute to the Ninth District Economy. ?Mexicans make up the largest share of immigrants in the United States. This fact not only holds for southern states but also, despite colder climates, for states in the Fed?s Ninth District. What do we know about those who have found their way this far north from across the southern border??
Erick Garc?a Luna, Director de Enlace Regional del Banco de la Reserva Federal de Minneapolis, produjo un estudio econ?mico sobre el perfil de los inmigrantes mexicanos en la regi?n y c?mo contribuyen a la econom?a del Noveno Distrito. "Los mexicanos constituyen la mayor parte de los inmigrantes en los Estados Unidos. Este hecho no solo es v?lido para los estados del sur, sino tambi?n, a pesar de los climas m?s fr?os, para los estados en el Noveno Distrito de la Reserva Federal. ?Qu? sabemos sobre aquellos que han encontrado su camino tan al norte desde el otro lado de la frontera sur?"?

Esta sesi?n es gratuita y se presenta como parte del "D?a Latino en el Capitolio" del Consejo de Asuntos Latinos de Minnesota.
