AACTE Celebrates Public Schools Week, March 25-29
AACTE joins its fellow members of the Learning First Alliance (LFA) in celebrating Public Schools Week, March 25-29. The initiative is supported by national education groups representing teachers, principals, superintendents, parents and school board members to honor the achievements our public schools are making and the significant contributions public school educators and education advocates bring every day to public schools and their communities.
LFA members are hosting the second annual Public Schools Week on Capitol Hill in Washington and in communities large and small across the U.S. During Public Schools Week, groups representing LFA are inviting community members, lawmakers, parents and others into schools to see firsthand the wide array of programs and policies available to students that will showcase excellence in teaching and learning.

AACTE and its fellow LFA members recognize that teachers, principals, and all the educators and support staff that serve in public schools are key to helping students succeed and our nation thrive. Public schools are the centerpiece of the hopes and dreams of our families, and the growth and wellbeing for our communities. There is no better time than now to speak out about the value of public education, the bedrock of our society.
