Description: The Merced City School District has spent more than $900,000 on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, including racial affinity groups and rap‑based education initiatives, drawing criticism over spending priorities. The funding includes contracts for programs like an African American student affinity group and a summer “Rap Camp,” even as district data show low student proficiency in math and reading.
