Secondary Members: Please contact members of Congress now asking them to co-sponsor a resolution in support of National Public Schools Week.

On March 25, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) will join national education organizations across the country for Public Schools Week — a week to honor and showcase the achievements happening every day in America’s public schools and demonstrate the potential for even greater accomplishments in the future.

Nine out of every 10 students attend a public school. Public schools must serve every child—regardless of ability, religion, wealth, language, country of origin, or need. We know that by strengthening the public school system, we strengthen our democracy.

Despite the critical importance of public education, many members of Congress and other policymakers in recent years have supported cutting funding or diverting funding toward private school vouchers. We need to demand that our officials take a stand in supporting public schools and commit to strengthening and protecting our public education system.

That’s why we are asking you to contact your representative now and ask them to co-sponsor a resolution for Public Schools Week that recognizes that public schools are the foundation of a 21st-century democracy and ensure America’s children and youth can contribute to the society, economy and citizenry of the country. 

TAKE ACTION!
