The Equity Center represents
YOU!
We are the
only
education association in Texas which exclusively represents the interests
of low and mid-wealth (Tier 2) school districts, whose access to state and local funds for
operations and facilities is significantly less than that enjoyed by other
districts.
Founded in 1982, the Equity Center is the largest research and advocacy
organization of its kind in the nation.
Today, about 90% of all Texas students attend school in the 900+
districts eligible for regular membership in the Equity Center. To be
eligible, a district must receive Tier 2 funding.
Whether researching or developing policy alternatives, “crunching numbers”
for a multitude of finance proposals, testifying before
legislative committees, making presentations to school
groups across the state, or working with state agencies,
the Equity Center concentrates all of its energy on
improving the financial status of our school districts.
