On Sept. 17, 2025, National Policy Director Andrea McChristian testified before the DC State Board of Education, offering guidance on high school graduation requirements for mathematics that are equitable, relevant, and rigorous.
McChristian described examples of culturally responsive curricula where students analyze real issues, such as food deserts in their neighborhoods, using math to make sense of inequities and propose solutions.
McChristian underscored the importance of designing clear and transparent math pathways that show students, families, and counselors what they need for college admissions.
