	"description": "Something important is happening in Long Beach, and we need you to know about it. Black families in our community helped build something rare: a set of programs inside Long Beach Unified School District that actually worked. The Black Student Achievement Initiative (BSAI). Its Sankofa programs. And the annual BSAI Symposium, a space where, for many families, it was the first time a school district had ever felt genuinely built for them. That work is being quietly dismantled. The fifth annual BSAI Symposium has been removed from the district calendar. No announcement. No explanation. The BSAI Advisory Committee has been sidelined. Core programs have lost support. And this is happening while Black students in LBUSD still face some of the deepest disparities in the system, with only 34% meeting ELA standards, just 20% meeting math standards, and suspension rates more than three times higher than their non-Black peers. Superintendent Dr. Jill Baker is retiring. A new superintendent will inherit this district. What happens in these final weeks will determine whether the commitments made to Black students survive the transition, or quietly expire with this administration. We are not going to let that happen without being heard. We have written a letter to Superintendent Baker and every member of the LBUSD Board of Education demanding they take action. We need you to add your name. It takes less than two minutes. 1) Add your name here, 2) click the &quot;Start Writing&quot; button to customize the letter we wrote for you, 3) then send your message, which will go directly to district leadership.",
