How do you define educational equity?

Educational equity means ensuring that students, staff, and families receive exactly what they need to succeed—when they need it, how they need it, and with a sense of urgency. It requires the intentional removal of barriers to promote successful academic and social outcomes for all. I specifically call out students, staff, and families because each group requires unique support to ensure that every student can thrive.
