AFC pide acceso a centros de enriquecimiento regionales para estudiantes sin hogar

Advocates for Children se unió a otras 11 organizaciones para pedirle al Canciller Carranza que garantice que los estudiantes sin hogar tengan acceso a los Centros de Enriquecimiento Regionales cuando abran la próxima semana. Si bien no cuestionamos la decisión de cerrar escuelas a la luz de la actual emergencia de salud pública, estamos profundamente preocupados por el impacto desproporcionado que probablemente tendrán los cierres a largo plazo en los más de 100,000 estudiantes de la ciudad que se encuentran sin hogar.
