EQUITY IN EDUCATION
Every Child in Atlanta Deserves a Champion for equity representing them on the School Board.
We Help Make That Happen!
Atlanta’s public schools are a gateway to opportunity. They are also a reflection of our city’s deep inequities.
“Two Atlantas” exist: one where students thrive, and another where they are systematically left behind.
Equity in Education Atlanta (EIE) exists to close that gap.
We impact, train, and partner with elected school board leaders to pass policies that shape the future of Atlanta’s Public Schools. We empower communities to use their voices, their vote, and their resources to support and demand accountability from the Board of Education.
Our goal? A school board that truly champions equity.

What We Do
We are policy architects. We write and advocate for policies that directly impact APS students.
We are community organizers. We rally parents, educators, and voters to hold school board leaders accountable.
We are political strategists. We recruit, train, and equip candidates to run equity-centered school board campaigns.
We are data-driven storytellers. Our research shows the stark realities of APS—like the fact that while 84% of APS students graduate, only 37% are proficient in reading.
We are the voice in the room. We engage with decision-makers, ensuring that the community’s concerns are heard and acted upon.
