Action for Children believes that all children deserve a quality education that prepares them for the workplace or higher education.  Research shows that high quality teachers, small class sizes, a strong curriculum in each grade, modern facilities and other factors influence the quality of education that students receive.  Unfortunately, not all students have equal access to these essentials.  Differences in school resources, academic opportunities and learning environments make it difficult to provide equal opportunity to all students. 

To ensure that all children in our state have the opportunity to receive a quality education, Action for Children advocates for public school funding that is fair, adequate and transparent, so parents, community members, school boards and state leaders can know how money is being spent and how resources are allocated in order to evaluate the effectiveness of programs.
