The Alliance for Education and Seattle Public Schools created Seattle’s Fund for Education Equity to help provide students furthest from educational justice the technology needed to continue to learn during the COVID-19 crisis.

Seattle Public Schools is offering remote learning to all students while our schools are closed. But many SPS students lack the resources and access to take advantage of this support. You can help students overcome technology barriers and allow all students the opportunity to continue learning from home during this global pandemic.

We need your help.

Donate Now

By donating today to Seattle’s Fund for Education Equity, we can ensure students in Seattle Public Schools receive the direct resources they need for continuous learning.

Donations will fund:

Devices and technology to ensure students and families have access to remote, continuous learning
Technical support for families so they can support their students
Training for teachers and staff to best serve students remotely
Additional learning resources for students when they return to school, to ensure they can catch up and stay on track

Gifts of any size are greatly appreciated. Below are some examples of what your gift could provide:

$50 provides a wifi hotspot for a family
$150 provides a hotspot and 3 months of service for a family
$300 provides an elementary device - like a tablet - for a student
$600 provides a laptop to a student or staff member (classroom paraeducators do not currently have laptops)

100% of contributions will go to Seattle Public Schools to directly address the remote learning needs of SPS students and families

How is the district continuing to provide teaching and learning?

As of March 12, Seattle Public Schools were closed in response to the public health dangers of COVID-19. While our schools may be closed, our students are still ready to learn. Since this crisis began, the Alliance for Education and Seattle Public Schools have been working in partnership to ensure our students have the resources they need to be safe, stay healthy and continue their education. That’s why we’re launching Seattle’s Fund for Education Equity.

In order to ensure continuous learning, Seattle Public School teachers and staff are providing remote learning opportunities in a variety of formats: printed materials available on-line and distributed at food distribution sites, video learning opportunities via SPS TV and YouTube, and learning materials and engagement from SPS teachers via Schoology, the district’s online learning management tool, and email.

Seattle’s Fund for Education Equity will help Seattle students who don’t have the essential resources required to continue their education. There is an urgent need to ensure that all families – and especially those families furthest from educational justice – have the resources and support they need to keep learning going while our schools’ doors are closed.

Thank you for helping our students during this crisis. For more information on the work of the Alliance for Education, visit their website here.
