![I-REEED logo i-reeedlogo](/research/_files/images/i-reeed.logo.green.black.updated.png)
I-REEED stems from the conviction that public education is a critical social good that is inseparable from the mental and physical health of communities, economic development, and justice. The primary goal of I-REEED is to produce rigorous, collaborative, and solution-oriented research that is relevant and useful to our state and local partners.
