For nearly 20 years, ERS has empowered school system leaders to make transformative shifts in resources, structures, and practices so that all students—especially those with the greatest learning needs and those furthest from opportunity—attend a school where they can learn and thrive. Grounded in our work with districts across the country and what we’ve heard from the field, we've created tools and resources designed to help district leaders take action to transform schools for good. Get started with our updated ESSER Toolkit.
ERS is pleased to announce that Kira Orange Jones, CEO of Teach Plus, has been appointed to its board of directors.

We are a national non-profit that partners with district, school and state leaders to transform how they use resources (people, time, and money) to create strategic school systems that enable every school to prepare every child for tomorrow, no matter their race or income.
Our work integrates data analysis, benchmarking, strategic design, consensus building, implementation and monitoring in the areas of school system design:
Assess your district's resource use, create strategic school design plans, learn about best practices from other districts and states, and explore our publications, videos, and interactive online tools.
Connect with other district and/or state leaders to address a specific topic (such as budgeting or school design) and get hands on experience with ERS’ tools and frameworks.
Work closely with an ERS team to address a specific deep issue in your district or state, or conduct a broad assessment of resource use to meet strategic goals.
