Abstract	In the wake of the global pandemic, equity has increasingly been on the hearts and minds of educators, policymakers, legislators, families, and students. Students of color, students from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds, students that have English as a second language, and/or have a learning disability have historically faced obstacles at school that their peers may not. Although programs and other supports are in place in most Illinois school districts, it is an ongoing challenge to reach students whose needs may not be met with standard practices, policies, and procedures. Ensuring equity in education requires honesty about its landscape and being committed to individuals with unique needs that may face obstacles due by to systemic inequities. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on K-12 students has heightened or brought to light systemic inequities, which provides an opportunity to combat the educational divide. The State Education Equity Committee began its study of equity in education when it convened for the first time in October 2021. Meetings were also held in November, December, and January. Three subcommittees were formed to align the Committee directives with the three overarching goals in the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) Strategic Plan: Student Learning, Learning Conditions, and Elevating Educators. The subcommittees reviewed the work ISBE is currently doing and offered feedback on specific initiatives as well as developed specific recommendations to further education equity in Illinois. In this report, the State Education Equity Committee recognizes ISBE has made progress toward a more equitable educational experience for students in Illinois, but the work is not done. Recommendations to further education equity are provided by each of the subcommittees. Additionally, the subcommittees identified future considerations, which will be explored and further developed in 2022-23. (ERIC).
