DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Equity and Excellence Commission 

AGENCY: Office for Civil Rights, U.S. 

Department of Education. 

ACTION: Request for Nominations to 

Serve on the Equity and Excellence 

Commission. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Education 

(Secretary) invites interested parties to 

submit nominations for individuals to 

serve on the Equity and Excellence 

Commission. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Equity and Excellence Commission 

(Equity Commission or Commission) 

will be established by the Secretary of 

Education and governed by the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) (Pub. L. 92–463, 

as amended; 5 U.S.C.A., Appendix 2). 

The Commission will collect 

information, analyze issues, and obtain 

broad public input regarding how the 

Federal government can increase 

educational opportunity by improving 

school funding equity. The Commission 

will also make recommendations for 

restructuring school finance systems to 

achieve equity in the distribution of 

educational resources and further 

student performance, especially for the 

students at the lower end of the 

achievement gap. The Commission will 

examine the disparities in meaningful 

educational opportunities that give rise 

to the achievement gap, with a focus on 

systems of finance, and recommend 

appropriate ways in which Federal 

policies could address such disparities. 

The Commission will submit a report 

to the Secretary outlining its findings 

and any recommendations. The 

Secretary will share a copy of this report 

with Congress through the United States 

Senate Committees on Appropriations 

and on Health, Education, Labor, and 

Pensions and the United States House of 

Representatives Committees on 

Appropriations and on Education and 

Labor. 

The Commission will be composed of 

approximately 15 members, including 

persons who have knowledge of and 

expertise in systems of school finance, 

taxes, or civil rights. The Secretary 

intends that at least one-third of the 

members will have experience working 

in or with State educational agencies or 

local educational agencies. The 

Commission will also include ex officio 

members from the Department, 

including, but not limited to, the Deputy 

Secretary, the General Counsel, and the 

Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights. 

Nomination Process: Any interested 

person or organization may nominate 

one or more qualified individuals for 

membership. If you would like to 

nominate an individual or yourself for 

appointment to the Commission, please 

submit the following information to the 

Department’s White House Liaison 

Office: 

• A copy of the nominee’s resume; 

• A cover letter that provides the 

reason(s) for nominating the individual; 

and 

• Contact information for the 

nominee (name, title, and business 

address, phone number, fax number, 

and e-mail address). 

In addition, the cover letter must state 

that the nominee (if you are nominating 

someone other than yourself) has agreed 

to be nominated and is willing to serve 

on the Commission. Nominees will be 

appointed based on: 

• Technical qualifications, 

professional experience, and 

demonstrated knowledge of issues 

related to systems of school finance, 

taxes, and civil rights; and 

• Demonstrated experience, integrity, 

impartiality, and good judgment. 

The Secretary will appoint members 

for the life of the Commission, which 

will span approximately 15 months. 

Any member appointed to fill a vacancy 

occurring prior to the expiration of the 

full term for which the member’s 

predecessor was appointed will be 

appointed for the remainder of such 

term. 

Members will serve without 

compensation. However, members may 

receive reimbursement for travel 

expenses for attending Commission 

meetings, including per diem in lieu of 

subsistence, as authorized by the 

Federal travel regulations. 

These members will serve as Special 

Government Employees (SGEs) and, as 

SGEs, will be chosen for their 

individual expertise, qualifications, and 

experience; they will provide advice 

and make recommendations based on 

their independent judgment and will 

not be speaking for or representing the 

views of any nongovernmental 

organization or recognizable group of 

persons. 

DATES: Nominations for individuals to 

serve on the Commission must be 

submitted (postmarked, if sending by 

mail; submitted electronically; or
