LISC’s Policy Priorities

Education

Education is a sound predictor of well-being and economic stability. Communities can flourish when families have access to quality early childhood education, high-performing schools and enrichment activities for their children, and when adults can get the skills training, continuing education, and higher education they need to land and advance in living-wage jobs. That’s why the foundation of LISC’s education agenda includes a robust support of policies that promote educational opportunity in neighborhoods across the country.
