Local and national experts say the success of Latino students is critical for Idaho’s future. But Latino students, who make up 18 percent of public school enrollment in Idaho, often face economic and educational inequities that make it harder to succeed academically.

Idaho Education News and the Idaho Statesman have been reporting on Latino student outcomes and experiences for more than a year. Now hear from the students themselves.

Latino students from across the state sent questions about education to ask Gov. Brad Little. Several of those students will join reporters Sami Edge and Nicole Foy for a live, virtual discussion, where they will share their stories with the governor and ask him questions about the future of education for Latino students.

Join us at 4:30 p.m. Dec. 2 for that discussion, which will be live-streamed on idahostatesman.com, and on Idaho Education News’ and the Idaho Statesman’s Facebook pages.
