At the Coalition for Public Schools we believe that there is strength in numbers and that the more of us involved in making our voices heard in support of our free, appropriate, inclusive public education systems the better.

Attend Upcoming Coalition Events

The Coalition for Public Schools is hosting a series of meetings across the state to discuss the value of public education and to talk about ways that communities can get involved to support public schools. Attendees are encouraged to support their neighborhood public schools both in their community and with local and statewide advocacy.  You can link to the schedule of those meetings here.
