Home - Partnership for Equity & Education Rights

Every child deserves an education that helps them reach their full potential, no matter their race or the community they live in.

The Partnership for Equity & Education Rights (PEER) is a state- and territory-led network dedicated to ensuring public schools are funded based on student needs, not their neighborhood. Informed by communities, families, and students, PEER partners with 22 states and territories to build a national movement for strong, well-funded public schools in every community.
