Parents For Public Schools Inc

National capacity building & network support:although each chapter has its own identity and the ability to respond to local challenges, a chapter's work is supported by the national organization with professional expertise and collaborative power.chapters benefit from working with a network of other parents across the united states and are able to avoid "reinventing the wheel". Pps, inc. Conducts chapter training using curricula designed to enhance current and future success in all chapters, conducts regional andnational leadership conferences to provide technical assistance,strategies, and support to chapters, works to plant new chapters with a focus on school districts enrolling larger minority and disenfranchised populations, and provides capacity building support to chapters to address self-identified areas of weakness. Working with school administrators and teachers, pps parents strive to reduce barriers to learning and bring the community into the process of strengthening schools.

Organize for advocacy:pps also focuses on education advocacy and works to provide pps constituents with information to assist in holding elected officials accountable for decisions that affect public education and to assess public education support by candidates for public office. Pps has developed the civic academy, a workshop that focuses on the value of fully funding public schools, providing information that citizens need to inform their choices at the ballot box.
