Abstract | Even before the COVID-19 pandemic upended the U.S. education system in spring 2020, another persistent, pernicious pathogen had long plagued American society: inequitable educational outcomes on the basis of income, race, and ethnicity. This is especially true for postsecondary access and attainment. Research shows the benefits of postsecondary attainment to individuals, communities, states, and the nation at large. But those benefits will be hampered by the inequitable pattern of attainment currently observed across the country. This guide will primarily interest district and school leaders looking for the clearest, most concrete ways to keep students on a postsecondary pathway after they graduate high school. But school counselors, teachers, and community partners will also find the approaches valuable and familiar. The approaches include: (1) Understanding students' postsecondary intentions and needs through survey data; (2) Obtaining and analyzing postsecondary outcomes data from the National Student Clearinghouse; (3) Increasing access to financial aid by improving Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) completion rates; and (4) Examining current activities around fall milestones, and pivoting to virtual where possible. Each section of the guide includes questions stakeholders should ask and a curated slate of related resources. Each of the sections includes a rationale, questions to ask, and the best available resources. The education field will likely be asked to do more with less over at least the next few academic years.
