At the intersection
School Funding and Integration Community of Practice
Inequitable funding and persistent school segregation are two of the biggest problems facing American education — and they're inextricably linked. Yet for decades, our professional community of advocates, academic researchers, policymakers, and educators has largely treated them as separate challenges.
Alongside the Education Law Center and the National Coalition on School Diversity we created At the Intersection to give leading experts in school segregation and school funding a place to collaborate, share ideas, and build a movement to take on these crucial, intertwined challenges.
