We then developed the Distance  Learning Equity Dashboard to track, across 20 indicators, how districts were providing academic, social-emotional and other wraparound support to students, as well as how they were supporting teachers and parents in navigating the transition to distance learning.  \nThirty-one of the 48 districts in the Dashboard have leaders who are part of SEF’s Racial Equity  Leadership Network1—superintendents and administrators from districts that educate a higher percentage of Black students and students from low-income families than both the South and the nation as a whole, and who engage with SEF to improve academic opportunities and outcomes for these students. The remaining 17 districts include some of the largest districts in the southern states SEF covers. Nearly 44 percent of the students enrolled in the evaluated districts are Black, while 21 percent are Hispanic or Latinx and 3 percent are Asian. In comparison, of students in the South’s public schools, nearly 23 percent are Black, 27 percent are Hispanic or Latinx, and 4 percent are Asian.2 On average, 67 percent of students in DLED-evaluated districts receive Free or Reduced Price Lunch (FRPL), compared with 57.1 percent of public school students in the South. Thirteen percent of students in DLED districts have Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and 10 percent are English Language Learners (ELLs) . The districts included in the DLED are not a regionally or nationally representative sample; the DLED is a descriptive snapshot of 48 districts across 20 states which reflect the demographics of southern school districts and include a mix of rural and urban districts.  \nEnsuring access to fast and reliable internet  \nconnection has proven to be among the most vital requirements for equitably administering distance education during COVID-19.  \nAccess to experienced,  \nhigh-quality, creden  \ntialed teachers is also important for students engaged in distance learning.  \nWe selected districts that have large proportions of Black students and FRPL-eligible students because we seek to highlight the ways in which longstanding inequities are being exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis. For example, ensuring access to fast and reliable internet connection has proven to be among the most vital requirements for equitably administering distance education during COVID-19 . However, we know that six percent fewer Black children have access to the internet at home than their White peers.3 Additionally, access to experienced, high-quality, credentialed teachers is also important for students engaged in distance learning. While many teachers struggled with the transition to distance learning, those with more experience, qualifications, and knowledge about teaching in unconventional ways may have  \n404.523.0001  \n[info@southerneducation.org](info@southerneducation.org)  \nFollow SEF @SouthernEdFound  [SouthernEducation.org](SouthernEducation.org)  \n2  \nbeen able to transition to distance learning more easily.
