The education equity program operationalizes the urban league of louisiana's explicit commitment to an equitable and excellent education for all children, and seeks to hold states and local districts to this promise. At the center of this approach are priorities that focus on the following key areas: 1) early learning and early childhood education, 2) equitable and high-quality implementation of common college and career ready standards, 3) improved access to high-quality curricula and effective teachers, 4) comprehensive, aligned and transparent education and employment data systems, 5) equity and excellence at scale, 6) out of school time learning (emphasis on expanded day and summer learning), and 7) college access, completion and attainment. Key to the eep is the production of urban league's advancing educational equity reports, which identify the barriers to educational equity that prevent all students from reaching their highest potential. The reports examine public school performance through an equity lens by disaggregating key educational metrics. The report documents existing inequities and serve as the basis for stakeholder discussion and advocacy toward policy changes and other actions to close achievement gaps. In 2023 eep continued partnership with the east baton rouge parish school system (ebrpss) and completed the lafayette parish public schools.”
