The results have shown that some Bangor students experience school differently based on gender, race, socioeconomic status and whether they require traditional academic support. The district is using data from the equity review to make its own decisions and address student outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know that students that are from an impoverished\u00a0background or are living in poverty often struggle to achieve more,&#8221; Mette told WFVX. &#8220;That&#8217;s something that&#8217;s consistent across the United States. But what I think the Bangor School Department is trying to do is acknowledge those disparities\u00a0exist and figure out how to close that gap moving forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As part of the RPP, Mette, Buchanan and Hakkola are offering three separate courses throughout this school year for Bangor educators on culturally responsive educational practices.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Mette and
