The Equity Roadmap

Introduction

As a LEE member, you have seen firsthand how policies impact students and families–and you know that every community has unique needs. The Equity Roadmap provides foundational background and guidance on equity issues across communities. Use the Roadmap to identify policy issues that affect your community and questions to ask that can lead to a more equitable future for children.

Using the Roadmap

Assess the current state of educational equity in your local community
Identify questions to raise with local stakeholders and decision makers
Identify opportunities for action

Process
