Mission
The mission of the EAC is to ensure educational equity.  To this end, the EAC assists states and school districts build their capacities to effectively address the problems of desegregation based on race, sex, and national origin that have an impact on student achievement and equal educational opportunity.  Funded by the U.S Department of Education, the EAC provides technical assistance to states and school districts in New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands to effectively address the equity issues which affect student achievement and opportunity.

The Center provides technical assistance, upon request, to states, districts, and schools regarding issues of race, sex, and national origin.  Major areas of focus include: disproportionality; teacher quality; drop-out prevention/re-entry; English Language Learners; and harassment/bullying/violence, while also meeting the equity requirements of NCLB and IDEA.
