Almost one-in-five voting members of the House and Senate are a racial or ethnic minority, making the 115th U.S. Congress the most diverse in history. And while Congress as a whole remains disproportionately white when compared with the U.S. population, the racial and ethnic profile of newly elected members more closely resembles the increasingly diverse populace, according to a Pew Research Center analysis.
Overall, nonwhites (including blacks, Hispanics, Asians/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans) make up 19% of the current Congress. By comparison, nonwhite Hispanics and other racial minorities make up 38% of the nation’s population.
Minorities, however, account for 20 of 59 new members (34%) of the House and Senate. This represents a notable jump over the 114th Congress, when just 11 of 71 new members (15%) were aracial or ethnic minority and the Senate had no newly elected minority members. This year, three freshman senators are a racial or ethnic minority, along with 17 new members of the House. hope this helps

This is false. If a meeting with parents is going to result in a referral for an assessment, you do not have to begin by showing them the screening information and apologizing for having to convey bad news.
<h3>What may cause a meeting between a school and the parents of a child?</h3>
The meeting between the parents of a schoolchild and the school may be scheduled for a number of reasons. One of this may be the behavior of the child or it could be due to the fact that they want to discuss the grades of the child with the parent.
But whatever it is, starting with the bad news is not the best way for the meeting to start. An appropriate opener has to first be done before the issue is discussed.
