Often in our fundraising we are asked ‘What should the money be spent on?‘

The answer is, we at Action for Education Equity don’t know. We aren’t the right people to make that decision. It is for the whole community of students, parents and family, staff and administrators to make those decisions.

Our focus at Action for Education Equity, is on providing the money needed for students to succeed. In this post we amplify community discussions occurring to decide the best use of those funds to give our students the education they deserve.

You can hear from Youth Advocates on how they would like to see the money spent on a recent episode of Connections with Evan Dawson.
