Stand With Teachers & Students: Support 10 Commitments for Public Education

Nearly 90% of American children attend public schools. What happens in those schools shapes our future workforce, our democracy, and every community in the nation.

EdPwr is a big-tent coalition of policy experts, civil rights groups, labor-aligned partners, parents, educators, and local advocates, and E4E is proud to be a member. Together, the coalition has developed the Ten Commitments for Public Education, which describe what families can expect from their schools over the next decade, from safe schools and great teachers to fair funding and a student bill of rights. 

If you agree with these commitments, add your name to the pledge below and join teachers from across the country in support.

I believe every child deserves a public school that is safe, well-staffed, and ready to help them succeed, no matter their circumstance, and I am standing with the teachers, parents, and community members across the country who share that goal and call on policy leaders to make these Ten Commitments for Public Education:

1. Safe Schools, Safe Kids
2. Great Teachers, Great Learning
3. The Schools Our Kids Deserve
4. Graduates Ready for the Workforce and the World
5. A Reading Surge
6. Fair and Full Funding for Every Student
7. Connected Classrooms, Protected Kids
8. AI That Works for Kids
9. A Public School That Fits Your Kid
10. A Student Bill of Rights
