Game On for Kansas Schools is among the grassroots organizations supporting this effort to promote effective education policy in the Biden administration.

“The promises made during the campaign drew support from public education advocates across the nation. With those promises in mind, these are the top five K-12 priorities that they should keep at the forefront as they govern.

1. Rebuild our nation’s public schools, which have been battered by the pandemic, two decades of failed federal policy, and years of federal neglect.

2. Reject efforts to privatize public schools, whether those efforts be via vouchers or charter schools.

3. End the era of high-stakes standardized testing—in both the immediate future and beyond.

4. Promote diversity, desegregation (both among and within schools), and commit to eliminating institutional racism in school policy and practices.

5. Promote educational practices that are child-centered, inquiry-based, intellectually challenging, culturally responsive, and respectful of all students’ innate capacities and potential to thrive.

“In order to all of this we NEED pro-public education leadership in the Department of Education. Let’s make sure that Joe Biden chooses a public education advocate for the next Secretary of Education. We need a leader who rejects corporate reforms, high-stakes testing and school privatization. It is time to rebuild our public schools. Send your email to the Biden team today. Use our letter or create your own. We make it easy and fast using Action Network. Go here to send your email today!”
