History
A February 1999 report released by a chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Nyack Partners in Education stated that honors classes had nine times as many caucasians as African Americans, while the district that Nyack is a part of had two caucasians for one African Americans as a whole. This caused racial tension in the district.[2]
