In 2013 the district began an initiative to increase numbers of racial minority and language minority students in upper division classes after the United States Department of Education concluded that not enough of those groups were present in such courses.[1]
Joe Ricca, previously of the East Hanover School District and the Elmsford Union Free School District, became superintendent of White Plains in 2017.[2]
By 2018 there were more African-American students in upper division courses.[1]
