The Educational Equity Equation Conversation Series, Session VII: Put Your Money Where The Equity Is: Tips for Strategically Leveraging Pandemic-Related School Funding
When Jess Gartner, founder and CEO of Allovue, taught middle school in Baltimore, she saw first-hand how budgeting impacts student success. In this moment when federal spending for pandemic relief and recovery is high, school system leaders are excited but overwhelmed by the prospect of making critical decisions about allocating new funds while pursuing an equity agenda. Join Jess, whose EdFinTech company empowers K-12 educators to strategically and equitably allocate financial resources, and Colin Seale, a former math educator, Founder and CEO of thinkLaw, and author of Thinking Like a Lawyer: A Framework for Teaching Critical Thinking to All Students, for a conversation reimagining how school funding can be used to create truly equitable classrooms and prioritize rapid learning acceleration.
