| Abstract: |
This Practice to Policy brief, based on insights from UnidosUS's Affiliate Network of community-based organizations and public charter schools in Illinois, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California, highlights the critical role of Out-of-School Time (OST) programs in supporting the Latino community, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. OST programs are essential for fostering students' academic, social, and emotional development. The brief underscores the urgent need for continued investment in learning recovery as Latino students face significant challenges, including mental health issues, chronic absenteeism, and accumulated learning losses. |
