Chicago United for Equity (CUE) engaged in a three-pronged Racial Equity Impact Assessment (REIA) inspired analysis of the Commission on Equitable Early Childhood Education and Care Funding’s recommendations between October and December 2020. This shortened timeline limited the depth of analysis; however, findings and recommendations should serve as a guide for a more robust future process across the state.
