Equitable Transitions During Pandemic Disruptions

This is a series of six Policy Briefs, commissioned by Education Commission of the States and authored by external organizations, that explore various facets of the transition from secondary to postsecondary education, which are now complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The series pays special attention to the student populations already underserved in our nation’s education system, including Black, Latinx and Native American students and students from low-income families or high-poverty schools. Each brief provides actionable steps and examples for state policymakers to consider as they address the transition from high school to college and the workforce. These briefs build upon “A State Policymaker’s Guide to Equitable Transitions in the COVID-19 Era.”
