Research can be brokered to the courts to accurately contextualize policy issues and identify transformative solutions that counter inequity. Using a critical l...

Progressive school finance reforms made school funding more equal by income, but less equal by race/ethnicity. This is b/c funding inequality by race/ethnicity is mostly between, not within, states. We need the DOE! #edpolicy @rauscher_emily & Jeremy Fiel https://t.co/8F3k42l1oT
