Special Briefing: Resource Equity and Student Success

RSVP at this link

Senator Jack Reed (RI) and Senator Sherrod Brown (OH), along with Congresswoman Marcia Fudge (OH), have pushed forward legislation that would help ensure every student has access to essential school resources like small class sizes, college counselors, up-to-date textbooks and well-prepared and competent educators through the Core Opportunity Resources for Equity and Excellence (CORE) Act. This briefing will examine the types of federal supports necessary to address the needs of a record number of students living in poverty, an increasingly diverse student population, and a growing number of second language learners and students with disabilities, while demand is growing for more ambitious learning outcomes for the world and workforce.
