IDRA provides training and technical assistance to school boards and other school district leaders to support equitable policymaking, budgeting and governance.
Our training and technical assistance is responsive to recent events impacting schools and can be tailored to meet the needs of school district leaders. School board members and other school district leaders make important decisions about budgeting, policy and educational practice in their districts. They know how important it is to ensure these decisions are made equitably, so that all students receive an excellent education.
