¡Soluciones! is the Spanish word for “solutions.”
On Saturday, January 28, 2006, key Ohio education administrators, Latino community leaders, and public policy makers will gather on the campus of The Ohio State University to begin to identify solutions to

- What challenges to closing the academic achievement gap for Latino students are you facing in your schools?
- What solutions are working to close the Latino academic achievement gap?
