This downloadable toolkit from H.E.A.L. Together features policies and case studies gathered from school districts around the country on a range of topics — from immigrant students' rights to budgeting for equity to culturally relevant education. Designed to serve as a reference for districts considering similar equity-based policies, this toolkit can be used by school board members, administrators, educators, and supporting community members who are interested in working towards racial and social equity in our nation’s public schools.
