The future of the Equity Assistance Center Program matters for schools and students across the South.

As the host of EAC-South, the Southern Education Foundation recently submitted a formal public comment urging the U.S. Department of Education to preserve the Equity Assistance Center Program. Why? Because the need for specialized, evidence-based technical assistance has not disappeared. It has evolved. Equity Assistance Centers help states, school districts, and schools address school desegregation, comply with federal civil rights law, and expand educational opportunity. We're proud to see this important conversation featured in Education Week. Read the article and learn more about SEF's public comment with the link in bio.
