MA Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell led a multistate coalition of 18 attorneys general in urging the U.S. Department of Education to continue advancing grantmaking priorities intended to promote equity in access to educational resources and opportunity, address existing disparities in education, and help schools comply with federal laws requiring schools to foster inclusive learning environments for all students. The request to the Department was made in a comment letter sent by AG Campbell and the coalition to Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. The letter was sent in response to the Department’s publication of new Proposed Priorities for assessing grant applications, which would eliminate the Department’s grantmaking priorities to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in schools. The new Proposed Priorities would replace the Biden Administration’s previous Supplemental Priorities including such commitments, which the Department has disparaged as being “discriminatory” and “divisive.”
