IVlore than seventy-five
Hispanic parents in the Los
Angeles area went back to
school this past year, but
instead of focusing on math,
writing or science, they
learned how to affect and
improve the education their
children receive in the public
schools
Because of cultural differences and language barriers,
Hispanic parents often find it
difficult to establish a good
working relationship with
public school personnel By
encouraging early involvement in the schools,
MALDEFs Parent Leadership
Program prepares parents to
advocate for their child's
education and to prevent the
problems that cause Hispanic
youth to drop out.
In its first year. MALDEF
implemented the program in
two elementary schools with
majority Hispanic student
enrollment in the Los Angeles
Unified School District, the
second largest school district
in the nation. Taught in
Spanish, or bilingually.
classes focus on parent-
teacher relations, the school
and school district structure
preparing children for college,
assessing student progress,
parents' rights, and avenues
for effective parental involvement.
The program's goal is to
familiarize parents with the
school system, introduce
them to administrators, and
motivate them to work within
the system and to assist the
principals in tackling problems in their local schools
As a result of their involvement in the program so far,
participating parents established English-as-a-Second
Language classes to assist
parents in learning English
and initiated a process that
led to the school adopting
uniforms for students Some
program participants also
successfully ran for election tc
their schools newly-established shared decisionmaking council
In the next year MALDEF
plans to implement the
program at six more Los
Angeles area elementary and
junior high schools After
fully developing a model for
parent leadership. MALDEF
will assist other communities
around the country in establishing similar programs
2
I he number of Hispanic
students attending law school
in the U.S. has increased only
slightly in the past 12 years,
standing at less than 7% of the
nearly 121,000 law students.
There are approximately
12,00U practicing Hispanic
attorneys, only 2% of the total
attorney population in the
country Recognizing the
tremendous need for increasing these numbers. MALDEF
provides financial assistance
to young, talented and
dynamic students who have
indicated a willingness to work
on behalf of the Hispanic
community in the field of law
MALDEFs Law School
Scholarship Program awarded
scholarships to 20 Hispanic
students attending law
schools around the country
The students were selected
based on academic background and potential, past
involvement and future
commitment to the Hispanic
community professional
objectives and financial need.
