Project PI Dr. Catherine Voulgarides presented emerging findings from the CE-IDEA project to a district partner on June 9, 2026. The presentation highlighted ongoing analyses exploring how equity-focused special education initiatives are communicated, interpreted, and implemented across different levels of the educational system.

Sharing findings with district partners is an important part of CE-IDEA's commitment to connecting research and practice. These conversations provide opportunities to discuss emerging insights, gather feedback from educational leaders, and better understand how policy is experienced in local contexts. As the project continues, collaboration with district and state partners will remain central to the work, helping ensure that research findings are informed by the realities of educational practice.

This work is ongoing, and we look forward to sharing additional findings as analyses continue.
