Catherine joined ERS in 2022 and is a leader on ERS' State Practice Area. In this role, she supports ERS’ work to enable the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of effective and ambitious state-level policies that create critical enabling conditions for school and system leaders to transform how they use resources (people, time and money) to support schools and students. Catherine has also supported a range of partnerships in her work at ERS, including conducting resource equity diagnostics for school districts across the country and designing trainings to support states in completing ESSA Resource Allocation Reviews (RAR).
