Have you had a chance to check out our 2022 Back to School Guide? We created more than 15 new publications, resources, and tools to help families and child-serving professionals ensure equal access to public education, and we thoroughly updated about 30 other ELC fact sheets so that they reflect the latest legal and real-world developments on the issues addressed. 

New fact sheets include these titles: The School Board: Its Power and How to Advocate; Your Right to Oppose Book Bans; Suspension & Expulsion Tool Kit; Preventing Suspension and Expulsion in Preschool Settings; The Right to Be Free From Bullying and Harassment; and Your Child’s Right to Compensatory Education. ELC has also updated our resource Promising Practices to Build Antiracist and Affirming School Communities, with our list of concrete steps schools can take to create affirming educational environments.

This year’s expanded Back to School Guide contains more than 60 fact sheets and fillable self-advocacy tools to support students and families as they enter the new school year. We also launched a new resource page on “Advocating for Inclusive Schools and Honest Education.” We encourage you to browse and use this comprehensive set of resources.
