Policy Agenda
Futures Filled with Opportunity: Reshaping California's Public Education System for Children from Low-Income Communities
An EdVoice Institute Policy Agenda
A quality education from early childhood through high school, which prepares students for college and career, should be a right for all – not a privilege for some. Yet, students from low-income communities in California fare far worse than students from higher-income communities on every meaningful measure of academic performance and college readiness. This is not a matter of ability, but the result of a public education system never designed to effectively educate all children.
After extensive analysis of California’s current education policies and a thorough review of education research and best practices, EdVoice Institute has developed a comprehensive, long-term agenda detailing nearly 100 policies needed to systemically change the public education system by 2040.
The purpose of the agenda is to serve as a guide for state leaders and other advocates to align on and implement a clear, research-informed legislative roadmap that will reshape public education so that students from low-income communities have futures filled with opportunity .
