Every year thousands of kids across our country are turned away unfairly or illegally from public schools. That has to change. It's time to ensure public schools are available to all kids. Join us in this fight: availabletoall.org #AvailableToAll #PublicEducation

.@DeKalbSchools' tried to charge thousands of in-district families more than $7K in tuition--all because of its flawed "attendance boundary verification system." But here's the real issue this fiasco exposes: No family--regardless of address--should have to pay to access a…

There are thousands of empty seats at LAUSD's top elementary schools. But nearby middle- and low-income families don’t have a chance to enroll. Why? Because these schools would rather keep their doors closed. That’s a violation of state law–and a betrayal of the promise of…

Magnet public schools in Houston received up to $3 million in extra local funding to serve students from all backgrounds and every zip code. But what happened? They became quasi-private schools catering to the wealthy and politically connected. hubs.la/Q03yLtfW0

Will @TheDemocrats back policies that open the best public schools to all families? cc: @iambenaustin @marcportermagee @RaviMGupta

The good news: Middle and high schoolers in @BaltCoPS have universal access to public schools. The bad news: Long bus rides are a barrier. One fix? Provide families with subsidies to cover the cost of transportation alternatives. hubs.la/Q03yp8lL0

🏫 We don't have to keep assigning kids to public schools based on outdated maps and exclusionary housing policy. Robust open enrollment can move us toward a future where every family--no matter their zip code--can access a great education.

We've outlawed redlining--but we still live with its legacy. From Brooklyn to Los Angeles, school boundaries mirror the housing segregation of the 1930s. And kids are paying the price. hubs.la/Q03xzQM30

⚖️ We need stronger legal protections in Nebraska–and beyond–so every family can access a public school that meets their child’s needs.

🗽 Forget the silly partisan fight about @AOC being a ‘Bronx Girl.’ The real story is about how her family had to move to get her into a better public school–-an unjust reality thousands of families face every year.
