Welcome to the Access Opportunity Onboarding and Resource Page. This page highlights best practices, resources and critical communications for your district and will serve as your primary source of information as you navigate through your first year with Equal Opportunity Schools (EOS). Our best practices and resources are informed by data, analysis, and years of experience collaborating with over 600 schools, 200 districts across 30 states to identify and implement inclusive policies and innovated methodologies designed to support your district and school needs.
Racial disparities in education have never been more prevalent than they are today
In many districts across the nation, countless students of color and low-income students are denied the social, emotional, and academic support they deserve to reach their full potential. The Action For Equity (A4E) partnership is designed to identify and dismantle racial barriers in every district to reclaim equitable access and opportunity for all marginalized students.

As we work towards your partnership launch, we’d like to share our equity story with you. We are ecstatic to have you join us on this Equity journey and look forward to a successful partnership launch!

Two additional resources are available for your review and I highly recommend that you and your team read these articles prior to your onboarding call. As a reminder, if you have not already scheduled an onboarding call, please do so immediately.
