The Center for Education Policy and Law is a joint undertaking of the USD School of Law and the School of Leadership and Education Sciences. Established by a grant from the William D. Lynch Foundation in 2007, our mission is to foster better linkage between educational research, policymaking, and practice by:
-
Undertaking commissioned empirical and legal research on education policy issues at the local, state, and federal levels;
-
Enhancing communication between education leaders and local and state-level policymakers; and
-
Facilitating understanding among USD law students and education graduate students about the policymaking process through courses, internships, and research opportunities.
