“Members of Parents for Public Schools do not ask our schools to prove themselves before they offer support.”
-Dr. Lynn Beck, Dean, Benard School of Education, University of the Pacific and former PPS National Board Member

What we do

Parents for Public Schools is involved in public school advocacy and reform through distinctive, important work to influence the factors that impact student success and improve schools. PPS believes that parents are owners of their public schools and provides programs that prepare parents for the responsibilities of ownership.

Parents for Public Schools’ power and impact are derived from the work of its national network of chapters. With 12 chapters in 9 states to date, PPS chapters provide a vehicle for parents to organize and develop their own credibility and power. Through local chapters, parents become dynamic and informed partners with their school systems. Specifically, chapters guide and train parents to work with school and community leaders to develop informed solutions to pressing problems.

We accomplish our work through:

A network of community-based chapters located throughout the country that tackle local issues and represent the voice of parents

Our Parent Engagement Programs that provide professional training that rivals FORTUNE 500 Programs

Leadership and empowerment training for like-minded organizations across the United States

We are committed to improving public schools.
