Equity in Education

The Centering Child Well-Being in Child Support Policy toolkit, developed in partnership with Good+ Foundation, features new analysis of state child support director survey data. We found that many states are moving to adopt more pragmatic and family-centered child support policies that put children where they belong: at the center.

The pandemic and social unrest around racism make it a challenging time for students and educators, but it’s also a period of opportunity.

Concrete actions state and local leaders can take now to make sure schools have access to money, people, and collaborative structures that ultimately benefit students, families, and society.

In the face of COVID-19, global inequities are being laid bare and further exacerbated, devastating some of the most vulnerable and low-income communities. Immediately, nonprofit and social impact leaders who serve those disproportionately at risk stepped up in unprecedented ways, working on the frontlines often with a lack of resources to do so.

Educators must provide time and space for healing and must do so in ways that are race-conscious, not colorblind.
