From the report: "To understand how districts have responded to these educational inequities, we focus on three systemic educational challenges that have been exacerbated during the pandemic and examine how three different districts have placed equity at the center of their response. The three challenges— ensuring that all students have access to safe and supportive learning environments, providing adequate supports to meet students’ socialemotional needs, and delivering consistently high-quality instruction—are fundamental to the educational enterprise. All three have been intensified during the pandemic, with particularly severe consequences for traditionally underserved student populations."
