When society becomes deeply divided\, s chools inherently face those same divides within their walls. A Departmen t of Education study reports that 45% of impoverished schools continue to receive less state and local funding than others within the same distric t\, in spite of efforts to reduce achievement gaps through equity policie s. The ongoing public health and economic crisis related to COVID-19 has made achieving educational equity even more challenging. How can local co mmunities ensure their school districts are being allocated funds and res ources in an equitable way? Are local resources enough to meet and sustai n schools’ efforts to meet the physical\, emotional and social needs of A merica’s children? What steps can be taken to build a student-centered re lationship between a community and its local and higher education institu tions to improve student equity?
