We stand with @StarleeColeman of the @charteralliance: "Use federal funding to help support students most in need. Students with disabilities come into our schools with challenges that take time and resources to address." appropriations.house.gov/schedule/heari…

Allowing private schools to reject students means students with disabilities and students from other marginalized communities could be excluded from learning opportunities. Watch here: appropriations.house.gov/schedule/heari…

💡ICYMI: Our co-founder @LMRHIM spoke with with @nytimes about how dismantling the Department of Education would be catastrophic for all students, and especially students with disabilities. Check out the full piece: nytimes.com/2025/02/12/opi…

America’s public schools welcome ALL students. Oppose discriminatory voucher programs like ECCA at novouchers.org during #SchoolChoiceWeek #NoVouchers

Happy #SchoolChoiceWeek! This week, we celebrate the freedom and opportunity that every family deserves when it comes to choosing the right education for their children. Every student should have access to an environment that sparks their curiosity and sets them up for success.

Today, CLE remembers and celebrates the life of Dr. King, who's vision continues to inspire and challenge us to work toward a society free from discrimination and filled with opportunity for every person, regardless of race, background, or belief.

On this day, CLE recognizes and celebrates the life-changing system of Braille, which empowers millions of blind and visually impaired people around the world to read, write, and engage fully with the world. Join us in honoring this incredible tool. #WorldBrailleDay

Happy New Year from #TeamCLE! Wishing everyone a joyous, healthy start to the year.

Our Executive Director, @LMRHIM wrote an Op-Ed in @The74! Read it here: the74million.org/article/school…

“School choice hasn’t lived up to its promise as an alternative to traditional classrooms. This means that students from low-income families and those with disabilities often miss out,” writes Linda Jacobson in @The74: the74million.org/article/amid-e…

Our latest report from our Charter School Sustainability Study was featured in @K12DiveNews this week! Read the article here: k12dive.com/news/charter-s…

The @njedreport published an article on our Charter School Sustainability Study, referencing key findings, including that leaders sought opportunities to "build a staff culture focused on equitable practice for students with disabilities." njedreport.com/new-study-how-…

“Students with disabilities experience systematic opportunity gaps and profound inequities in their schooling experiences, across all types of public schools” said our Executive Director, @LMRHIM in discussing our latest report. Read more here: centerforlearnerequity.org/wp-content/upl…

Beth Hawkins of @The74 shares that the main takeaway of our latest report is that “the most promising developments are the result of cultures that hold general and special educators jointly responsible for the success of all students.” the74million.org/article/report…

In the latest report from our Charter School Sustainability Study, we discuss how charter schools leverage the benefits of the autonomy granted to them under the law to build systems that drive stronger outcomes for students with disabilities: centerforlearnerequity.org/wp-content/upl…
