The Worcester Education Collaborative received a three-year $900,000 commitment from Quincy nonprofit the Nellie Mae Education Foundation to support work between the collaborative’s Education Equity Roundtable and the Worcester Public Schools.
The two entities will use the funds to collaborate on development of inclusive policies and best practices for equitable learning. The policies are intended to be specifically tailored to the population of Worcester’s public schools and larger communities, according to a Tuesday press release from the educational collaborative. The WEC, founded in 2010, is an independent organization that aims to utilize partnerships between schools to enhance educational opportunities.
