Standing together to preserve a vital resource for schools.

Forty education and civil rights organizations joined the Southern Education Foundation in urging the U.S. Department of Education to preserve the Equity Assistance Center Program. As the home of the Southern Center for Opportunity and Access (SCOA), formerly the Equity Assistance Center-South, SEF knows firsthand the importance of specialized, no-cost technical assistance that helps states, school districts, and schools meet their federal civil rights responsibilities and expand educational opportunity. The need for this work has not disappeared. It has evolved.
