A FEW SAMPLE TWEETS ABOUT ELABORATED RESEARCH CONNECTIONS                                               The findings across 12 cities reflect trends seen nationwide—that majority Black and/or Brown and disadvantaged schools are offered fewer course. #WeChoose #Equity                                                                                            Most states offer less funding to districts w/ high proportions of students in poverty & students of color. #WeChoose #Equity                                                                                                                                                                      Schools serving Black and/or Brown and disadvantaged students are less likely to have rich course offerings. #WeChoose #Equity                                                                                                                                                                   Inequity is baked into standardized testing & is compounded when administrators decide which HS courses are offered to students based on prior tests scores. #WeChoose #Equity                                                       All students need high expectations and rich course offerings. #WeChoose #Equity                                                   When parents & communities help decide course offerings students of color would offer more varied & challenging courses. #WeChoose #Equity

Demands

#WeChoose Every student will have in-person access to the courses that allow them to qualify for admission to public universities in their state. In some places that will mean the district provides transportation to other campuses and institutions. #WeChoose #Equity #EdJusticeVoter

#WeChoose Schools not offering the full range of course offerings will be prioritized
