Now the Work Begins. Support NPE. - Network For Public Education

Now the Work Begins. Support NPE. - Network For Public Education
Now the Work Begins. Support NPE.


American voters just gave Betsy DeVos the pink slip. As new leadership enters the U.S. Department of Education, the Network for Public Education will work to ensure a pro-public education agenda going forward. 

We can’t do that alone. We need your help. As giving Tuesday approaches, give to NPE and help us get the work done.

In this piece in The Washington Post Answer Sheet, Diane and I describe the priorities we hope the new Secretary holds.

Now is the time to end high-stake testing and the privatization of our schools. It is time to increase funding to public schools and provide the resources schools need to re-open safely. And it is time to protect and further the civil rights of our students by fully funding IDEA and creating more equitable schools.

You support that work when you support NPE.





Be sure to register here for Diane’s next great conversation this Thursday with Kevin Welner, the Executive Director of the National Education Policy Center. Kevin and Diane will talk about the days of DeVos and the better days ahead.
