A Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation survey found Hispanic families in the Dallas ISD are less likely than white or Black families to have high-speed internet at home.

Martinez credits the district for its ongoing effort but wants to see more done.

“In-person, parent academies, parent training,” he said. “Effective parent engagement, which is really the bottom line.”“Workforce development is critically important to the future of Dallas if we don't have workers all across the board in all different sectors in the next 10,15, 20 years, our economy will begin to shrink. Our jobs will not be the same level and tender of jobs as we hope that we can get,” said Villalba.

The foundation hopes that presenting its findings to the chamber of commerce and other city and district leaders turns into action, including creating strong outreach campaigns in Spanish. “We will continue to follow up with our local officials with the private sector to see if we cannot begin to really implement the kinds of programs that we're talking about,” said Villalba. “If we can ensure that all children, Black or Hispanic or white, have access to these kinds of programs that already exist, I think we can begin to bridge the gap that occurred during the pandemic.”
