What We Can Do: State Policy Solutions

Resources → What We Can Do: State Policy Solutions


We have identified five key policy solutions for state leaders. Progress in any one of these areas would help, but the best results will come from doing them all together.

Today, schools are more segregated than they were in the 1970s. And wealthier, whiter schools still often get more of the resources that matter— from the most effective, experienced teachers to high-quality curricula and cutting-edge technology.

It’s time to take action.

This document is designed to be read after our call to action, which was created with substantial input and collaboration from a community of practice comprised of a diverse and experienced group of advocates, litigators, researchers, and thought leaders in the fields of school funding and school integration.

This policy agenda lays out paths for state leaders — advocates, policymakers, and practitioners — who are ready to make change.
