## Resource

Every child deserves access to a world-class education — but for far too many in Dallas, that dream still feels out of reach. Roughly 144,000 economically disadvantaged students live within DISD boundaries, and 40% of children living in poverty aren’t prepared to start school. These aren’t just statistics — they’re the future of our city. That’s why the Dallas Education Collective exists: to bring the community together and change this story once and for all. In this episode, you’ll meet Nakia Douglas , a DISD graduate and the Executive Director of DEC, who has dedicated his life to improving education for Dallas kids. You’ll also get a front-row seat to a powerful DEC community event, where education leaders tackle the toughest questions facing parents, teachers, and students today — from access and equity to preparing kids for a future we can’t yet imagine. If you care about Dallas, its kids, and its future, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss. The path to tomorrow starts now — join us and be part of the movement.
