The training discusses the three parts of UCLA’s report, including specific recommendations for federal policymakers to address racially disparate burdens pre and post pandemic. In addition, we will share an analysis of Wisconsin’s data, what it means and efforts DPI is working on to address educational inequities among students of color with disabilities.
