The HRAP Education Access project seeks to explore constitutional issues at work in the Kentucky public education system. The Education Access project uses a computer survey to measure compliance with federal enrollment requirements within the state’s public schools with the highest proportion of foreign born students.
Requiring students to produce unnecessary enrollment documents creates a chilling effect on the right to public education. By monitoring levels of compliance, HRAP hopes to shed light on the burdens foreign-born children face when they enroll in Kentucky public schools and promote a culture of compliance.
