We exist to give you a seat at the table when it comes to policies and strategies that affect our schools and our children. We educate members about the issues affecting Colorado’s public schools. We connect caring, like-minded adults to create a unified, independent voice for children. We empower people with concrete, simple ways to take action. Our Strategy Our members are working toward a Colorado filled with vibrant, high-performing schools, where educators are inspired to do their best work, and all children can reach their highest potential. We will achieve this by:

• Electing school board members and state legislators who will boldly lead efforts to improve the quality of all schools.
• Working with state and local decision-makers to pass child-centered, research-based education policies and secure responsible investments for schools.
