What We Do
We work with three groups: parents and students, school professionals, and legislators. Our goal is to be a community partner that closes the conceptual gaps between problems and solutions.
We work independently to highlight research on current educational dilemmas such as the achievement gap, the school to prison pipeline, and the economic welfare of families in our community
We participate in and host community events that heighten awareness of the educational dilemmas in our community
We target laws and policies, policy makers, and legislators that influence the educational experience
