About Urban Collaborative 

The Urban Collaborative is a national network of school districts committed to improving outcomes for students with disabilities. We currently have 93 member districts across the United States in the network. Our mission is to improve educational outcomes and life opportunities for children and youth with disabilities in urban schools through leadership development. The Collaborative focuses on four main areas: leadership development, cross-sector collaboration, collective engagement, and Urbanicity; and seeks to bring timely and critical issues in the field, as well as solutions, to the forefront of district leadership.
