About Us
Public schools have long been viewed as institutions critical to our democracy.
​
We believe that it is vital for community members
to come together
and fight the political attacks against public education.
​
Public schools are a public good.
Public schools are the bedrock of democracy.
When public funds are transferred to private entities who have no transparency,
who openly flaunt the rules public schools must abide by
and who are not in any way accountable to the communities they purport to serve
- all students and the community at large suffer the consequences.
