Breaking the Cycle: A Multi-Faceted Approach to Tackling Educational Inequities for Economically Disadvantaged Students in Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness Programs
This white paper confronts the urgent educational challenges affecting economically disadvantaged (ED) students in the Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (HSEP) program within the Human Resource Services Cluster of Maryland’s Career and Technical Education programs.

These disparities extend beyond academic metrics, affecting students’ overall well-being and future employability, with potential long-term consequences for our communities’ economic and social fabric.
