Ways to Advocate for our Seattle Students and Schools Right Now
This site was developed by a group of Seattle Public Schools (SPS) parents from across the city and of different backgrounds. We support public education as foundational to democracy and to achieving racial equity within our society. We believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and enriching public school experience that allows each child to achieve their full potential.
We believe that in the face of a budget crisis, SPS needs to partner with families, communicate more transparently, and advocate to the state legislature for increased school funding.
Our goal is to offer clear and concise information so that all of us together can understand what's happening at SPS, and all of us together can advocate for our schools, educators, and students.
