Equity Coalition

The Equity Coalition is one of the core programs of the Center and captures the essence of what we hold dear – bringing together stakeholders from different points of view to discuss how we can improve education and equity for students with disabilities. The Equity Coalition includes representatives from a diverse range of organizations with an interest in students with disabilities, special education programs, civil rights, charter schools, and education reform, and meets biannually to identify common ground, articulate priority goals related to students with disabilities in charter schools, examine policy challenges, and continue to build bridges to address specific issues. The Equity Coalition issues collective actions arising out of the issues discussed, including issuing the Principles of Equitable Schools to help families, policymakers, and other stakeholders make informed decisions around school choice.

The Center for Learner Equity gratefully acknowledges the participation of members of the following organizations in the work of the Equity Coalition:
