As we approach the upcoming elections, at CORE, we know how crucial it is to consider the impact our votes have on the educational landscape. Choosing candidates who prioritize equity can transform our schools and communities, ensuring that every child has access to quality education, regardless of their background.

Equity-based candidates understand that educational disparities often stem from systemic issues. They advocate for policies that address funding inequities, promote diverse curricula, and support resources in underserved areas. By investing in these initiatives, we can create a more level playing field where all students have the opportunity to succeed.

Moreover, these candidates will be committed to inclusive practices that respect and reflect the diversity of our student populations. This means not only acknowledging the different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds of students but also implementing strategies that empower all voices within the educational system. CORE has seen this every year as we design programs with equity in mind. Our Scholars thrive academically and socially.

We urge everyone to do their homework and find out what your candidates will stand for in education. We believe in a future where all children can excel. It is not merely an investment in schools and programs like CORE, but a commitment to building a society that opportunity and justice for everyone. As we head to the polls, let’s remember that our votes are powerful tools for change. By supporting equity-based candidates, we are choosing a brighter, more equitable future for our education system and our society as a whole..
