When it comes to their kids’ school experiences, many parents feel unsatisfied with their options and alone in a search for solutions.
“My kids were struggling. No matter what school they went to, they weren’t catching up. I worried that my kids were doomed. There’s a whole lot of me’s - they’re looking for solutions.”
— City of Richmond Parent
Our goal is to increase community ownership in educational outcomes and to expand the number of excellent K-12 schools in Virginia.
Our WHY:
Every child has a right to a high quality education.
Every community deserves a school system that gives all children a chance to thrive, regardless of zipcode or income level.
Every Virginian benefits when its next generation is ready to participate, lead and prosper.
Communities across the country are starting new schools designed to meet the needs of today's families with success. Virginians can do the same.
Our HOW:
Include all the stakeholders.
Excellent schools for everyone are possible when parents and students partner with educators in decision-making.
We invite stakeholders – families, kids, educators, community members, and elected officials – to the process as we co-design and open excellent schools to meet today's needs and tomorrow's opportunities.
