are Title I schools. White students comprise the largest student demographic in Title I schools (35%). The smallest is black students (27%). Hispanics are 31% and other minorities comprise the remainder. The overwhelming majority of Title 1 school closures (97%) under NCLB and RTTT have majority black and Latino student populations. The evidence suggesting that inner city, predominately minority schools are being targeted for closure and restructuring is indisputable.
