The Issue:
COVID-19 revealed and magnified the persistent disparities between different races and income groups. The pandemic has forced disadvantaged students into the least desirable learning situations with inadequate tools and support systems to navigate them. As a result, the achievement gap widened.
What we do:
The Equity & Excellence in Education Parent Support Program aims to unite, educate, empower, and uplift parents through education, support, and awareness for the betterment of their child’s success.
