Equitable Access:
Put simply, the term equitable access refers to the notion that every student in any classroom in any public school in America should have the same opportunity as any other student for being taught by a great teacher who is supported by a great principal. There is abundant evidence, at present, that students from low-income families or students of color are disproportionately taught by educators who are less great (for a discussion of recent research, see this Institute of Education Sciences brief).

School Issued Devices:
Most school systems now give out students iPads, chrome books, or MacBooks. Each student should be required to bring their school issued devices to class each day fully charged.
