Leadership & Working Groups

The CSforCA coalition advances equity from a collaborative, research-based perspective that spans education and policy disciplines. The coalition is led by Co-Directors, Julie Flapan and Allison Scott, along with Co-Chairs, Kat Goyette and Rudy Escobar, in addition to four working groups. Each working group is managed by Co-Leads who represent an array of expertise and experience from school districts, local education agencies, nonprofit organizations, higher education institutions, advocacy groups, research teams, and tech companies.
