The Equity Leads will partner with local educational agencies (LEAs) to identify barriers and opportunities and implement actions and services to meet the identified needs of all pupils, including by addressing racial disparities in opportunities and academic outcomes. Additionally, Equity Leads will Identify existing resources (including support for educator preparation, recruitment, retention, and professional development) and monitor the impact of the implementation of local control and accountability plan goals. Equity Leads will prioritize support to schools receiving Equity Multiplier Funding. This is a multi-year grant (five years) beginning July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2029. The 2 million annual investment will be allocated as follows: For 2024-25 funding, $500,000 was awarded in 2024-25 (Year 1), $1,000,000 was rolled over to be awarded in 2025-26 (Year 2) and $500,000 will be rolled over to be awarded for 2026-27 (Year 3).
