Our public schools belong to all of us. They belong to the students who learn and the hard-working families who support them. They belong to educators and staff who ensure that children from every background have the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives.

OUR INITIATIVES

OPPOSE FEDERAL VOUCHERS

A new federal program would funnel our tax dollars toward private schools, draining funding from the public schools that serve 90% of New York's kids. New York doesn't have to take the bait.

GROW COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

We Believe That Schools Should Be Centers of Our Communities

The community school model provides wrap-around services for students and families. It make the school a critical center of community life. Schools and communities grow stronger as a result.
