We are celebrating our 50th year of working for excellence in education for all children!

Join us in honoring the legacy of the IDRA community and be a part of our lasting impact in the years to come to support more students across the country!
IDRA has propelled the reform of state funding systems,

designed and implemented school-based programs that cut dropout rates by 90%,

developed programs that work for young learners,

fostered student and teacher leadership development,

helped schools transform their discipline practices and establish culturally responsive instruction, and

conducted research that informs policy and educational practice in such critical areas as school finance equalization, bilingual education, dropout prevention, STEM access and immigrant education.
