I am honored, proud, and #thankful for the generous gift of $6 million to the Southern Education Foundation from @mackenziescott. southerneducation.org/in-the…
What do school district contracts have to do with education equity? If tutoring contracts include requiring that payment be contingent on improved student outcomes, they could be a game changer! forbes.com/sites/raymondpier…
I'm proud to announce that Dr. Charlotte Morris, President of @TuskegeeUniv and Careshia Moore, President and CEO of @UshersNewLook have joined the SEF Board of Trustees! southerneducation.org/in-the…
The Southern Education Foundation was instrumental in establishing public #kindergarten in the South. Today, #EarlyChildhoodEducation is more important than ever - for children and our nation. tinyurl.com/5havszdd
It is a very difficult time to be an educator. So difficult that many are retiring, but they are NOT giving up! #SupportEducators southerneducation.org/resour…
It was a great pleasure to talk with Chris about how social and economic policy affect students' educational achievement.

A hungry child struggles to learn.
In 2019, 57 percent of children in the South were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and 13 percent were living in food insecure households. #Poverty and #FoodInsecurity can affect a student’s academic achievement. #EVESI tinyurl.com/yh35pkh8
A new @SouthernEdFound report explains that schools, alone, cannot overcome the deep and historical race- and income-based disparities that affect students’ academic achievement. We need to examine and address the #SocialDeterminantsOfEducation #EVESI tinyurl.com/yh35pkh8
A pardon that was long, long overdue was issued today. #PlessyvFerguson #separatebutequal

I believe that the majority of us want our children to have a complete and rigorous education. I also believe some people are being intentionally misled about what happens in our nation's classrooms. forbes.com/sites/raymondpier…
