Via @EdLawCenter: Georgia's “pandemic cut" of $950m in K-12 state aid is a massive detriment to #PublicSchools, with the hardest-hit districts being those with high enrollments of #LowIncome students. Restoring #equitable funding is crucial. https://t.co/xNXMOfOQqj

An affordable laptop shortage means many #students go without devices they need for #RemoteLearning. Without large-scale efforts to address access disparities, these children, many in communities of color and rural areas, miss out on #education. https://t.co/rgeC2GRJwV

The Ed Dept's 2017-18 #CRDC shows troubling disparities in restraint and seclusion policies and a rise in K-12 sexual violence. Data collection issues also concern #CivilRights advocates. “How can you solve a problem if you don’t know the data?" #EdEquity

Curious what the U-S. spends to put police in schools instead of counselors? Play #FundEdInstead, a game by @future4learning @nepctweet and @voqal, and compare federal expenses side-by-side with the costs of investing in education. What's your priority? https://t.co/SwdRYN0z1k
