Nine out of 10 students in America attend a public school. That’s why it’s more important than ever before that every student have access to an amazing, wonderful public education.
This week is the time to say, “thank you,” and congratulate all of those who are in public schools, but also to say, “don’t ever take us for granted.”
Local leadership and advocacy for public education is critically important to the success, and the continued success, of this vital American institution: America’s public schools.
We are public school proud because we firmly believe that public education in America today is the best that it has ever been.
