CEPI supports the development and implementation of research-based comprehensive educational public policy for the improvement of elementary and secondary education through research, policy analysis, service to school divisions and support services for local, state, and national educational policy-makers.
The Virginia General Assembly funds the core work of the institute in its initial years. Private and corporate gifts and/or public/private grants also fund the institute. The long-term funding of the institute also will include revenue generated from the sale of policy services and training programs. The institute commits to a business plan that provides a long-term balance of public funds, private/public grants, and revenues from CEPI field services.
CEPI is pleased to acknowledge the corporate support of the Circuit City Foundation and the Leon Foundation.
