Every Child, Every Day
We focus on collaboration, learning and results. This is achieved
by bringing educators together to foster an environment of
success in academic achievement and growth for all students.
We believe it is our duty and responsibility to increase
student achievement and provide parents with the choices
they deserve and desire. We strive to communicate with
parents, the public, legislators, business leaders and cities.
