Our Vision:

A Just and Equitable World

public school is important

Learning with and as a community which has members with varying perspectives and backgrounds is an important strategy in building a just society. Public school and public school teachers are vital in this learning.

In our current unjust system, where so many of our children live in poverty, whose parents are working multiple jobs, not to thrive, but to survive, quality, well-funded public education is important, so that the next generation can work together to make better decisions about how we live. Public school provides opportunities for individual growth and collective sustainability. Opportunities, in many cases, that are lost, because the system has been set up in such a way counter to these possibilities. We need to focus on Educating for Good if we are going to change the way individuals in our communities interact, function and support each other. The public school debate is not just about funding, it’s about what happens when our learners get there.

Our Mission:
