We have special needs student helpers at our schools that help special needs kids with school projects/and activities that they might otherwise struggle with on their own. Paraeducators are there to support students that may not receive that same support in other places, even though it may be needed.

In my school, we do see some addressing towards disabilities, such as implementing handicapped bathrooms and putting elevators and ramps by buildings where people may need access to it. These implementations are also seen in the community. But we do notice that people may view these people with disabilities as a inconvenience, which kind of touches on the implicit bias we've been talking about.

We discussed that schools do not address the different types of religions in terms of holidays and practices. Religion in school seems to have more of an unconscious bias toward Christianity while other students at school may practice various other religions.

- Schools have been working towards implementing gender neutral bathrooms to accommodate those who are uncomfortable with standard gendered bathrooms
- Workplaces have been giving opportunities to workers to provide their pronouns
- Schools have created a much more accepting culture to discuss gender and sexual identity

At our schools there are gender neutral bathrooms to include those who are gender non-conforming or non-binary. However, most bathrooms still prescribe to binary genders and the gender neutral bathroom is less accessible. Health classes also formally address topics including gender diversity, so this is included in school curriculum and help to dismantle bias. In Erika's school the Engineering class is primarily males and the teacher doesn't lend enough support to the female students pursuing STEM.

We noticed that most of the schools that we attend are biased towards a lot of Christen Holidays more that the other religions, For example Christmas and easter. Many other religions don't get as much recognition as much as Christen Holidays do and most Christen holidays get breaks from school to celebrate.

- We have people called Paras who help students with disabilities o get they're work done.

- Many preschoolers with disabilities have delayed potty-training. Because of this, many preschools did not place the student into the school.

- The safety and comfortability on school campus for those with disabilities, it makes the kids lives a lot easier.

- Students with disabilities have a chance to be part of teams in school.

Schools can have a varying range of language-learning courses, but a low or high diversity can change the concentration on certain languages. For instance, my school offers a wide range of languages from European to Asian to South American languages. This is due to the high diversity in students at my school. There are white, Asian, Hispanic, South American, and more ethnicities. Additionally, schools in Downey offer sign language in order to contribute to those more towards who have disabilities who cannot hear.

For California students from homes with an annual income of less than $80,000, UC pays the entire tuition and fees. It covers the gaps in Pell payments largely out of its own budget. There are also a large amount of variety in scholarships and grants you can apply for if needed.
