The ELTF is a statewide group of legal services and public interest attorneys and advocates which meets regularly to address many of the education issues that face low-income students. The ELTF has over 90 individual and organizational members. School discipline and the effects of zero tolerance policies and practices has been a major priority of the group. Disparities that affect low income students, students of color, English Language Learner students, and students with disabilities are also a special focus of this group.

Through its Chapter 222 Coalition, the ELTF continues to focus its attention on school discipline and the effects of zero tolerance policies and practices, particularly on low income students, students of color, and students with disabilities.
