Why Fractional Leadership Is Essential for K–12 in a Post-ESSER World
As of mid-2025, the ESSER funding obligation deadline passed in September 2024, but many districts are still spending their remaining funds through extended deadlines into 2026. Meanwhile, districts face the reality of this major federal support winding down.
Thank you for your interest in Enlightened Equity. We are the parent organization behind Rooted & Ready™, a 16-week financial identity and decision-making curriculum, and we work with nonprofits and community-based organizations on operational systems redesign.
