Our Mission and Vision

Mission

We work with families, communities, and schools to address problems together so that every student can fully participate and thrive in Washington’s K-12 public schools.

Vision

We envision a public education system that dismantles racism, ableism, and other marginalization to support every student’s dreams for the future.

We value our independence, anti-racist values, and responsiveness to communities. We will learn as a team from families, students, and communities and promote this vision.
