Vision: In Kentucky, educational attainment does not vary by race, gender, income, disability status, language, or region.

Policies – We are committed to policies that strongly encourage courageous conversations which promote culturally-responsive actions from early childhood through postsecondary education that ensures educational success for students who have been marginalized in Kentucky.

Inclusion – We promote an appreciation for diversity that empowers us to serve as education advocates for students who have been marginalized.

Collaboration – We work to inform and engage students, parents, school leaders, and communities in our collaborative efforts to ensure Kentucky achieves excellence in education.
