Via @EdLawCenter: Georgia's “pandemic cut" of $950m in K-12 state aid is a massive detriment to #PublicSchools, with the hardest-hit districts being those with high enrollments of #LowIncome students. Restoring #equitable funding is crucial. https://t.co/xNXMOfOQqj

CREED is dedicated to race-conscious #educational research and #equitable #EdPolicy. "To be race-conscious means to see color intentionally as it pertains to the research," says co-founder James Ford. At the heart of their work? Community engagement. https://t.co/WN2Yn848LY

An affordable laptop shortage means many #students go without devices they need for #RemoteLearning. Without large-scale efforts to address access disparities, these children, many in communities of color and rural areas, miss out on #education. https://t.co/rgeC2GRJwV

The Ed Dept's 2017-18 #CRDC shows troubling disparities in restraint and seclusion policies and a rise in K-12 sexual violence. Data collection issues also concern #CivilRights advocates. “How can you solve a problem if you don’t know the data?" #EdEquity https://t.co/UcCXHgqxzh

Preparing #students for the #workforce is an important component of education that is often overlooked. The Southern Regional Education Board recommends steps like #CareerPathway programs and industry partnerships to ensure accessible work-based learning. https://t.co/xSpEaCetJV

@CRPatUCLA's comprehensive new report addresses disparities in #school discipline for #StudentsOfColor, which create a staggering loss of educational opportunity for Black students and students with disabilities. Excessive exclusion is not #equitable. https://t.co/bIu7bJW3uT

#Educators in Georgia are pushing for more Black male #teachers to mentor Black boys and improve outcomes, which will require fair pay, advancement opportunities, and support. They also support #CareerReadiness opportunities that teach technical skills. https://t.co/qX487ZTs51

.@splcenter's new report examines the denial of #educational opportunities and academic credits to #students in juvenile detention. The consequences are severe, especially for groups disproportionately represented in the justice system. #EdEquity https://t.co/IDcTIvAhHc
