The Minnesota Education Equity Partnership has created toolkits to create safe and supportive schools for Immigrant & English Learner (EL) students, particularly those in Minnesota. MNEEP believes in the dignity of every student where their humanity is honored and they have the opportunity to succeed in school. Recognizing that challenges facing students threaten this reality, these toolkits are intended to support administrators and partners in fostering healthy environments for all.
