SEF’s Public Policy Priorities
The Southern Education Foundation’s latest education justice agenda urges state lawmakers throughout the South to adopt recommendations informed by a broad base of southern community members, research and policy experts, advocates, and early education and K-12 practitioners. SEF urges lawmakers to use their legislative responsibility to support transformational investments for historically underresourced schools and communities. We understand the systemic educational challenges of today are far too great for one organization or group to tackle alone. With this publication, we hope policymakers take this moment to reinvigorate state expectations and imagine a future where all students can flourish. Our top priorities for this year include:
- Invest in, Preserve, and Improve Early Childhood Education (ECE)
- Strengthen Public Education and Leverage Innovative Funding Strategies to Improve Student Outcomes
- Increase investments in Digital Equity and Broadband Access at Home
- Protect Students’ Right to Learn
- Increase Access to Post-Secondary Education by Making College More Affordable
- Elevate and Invest More in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)
