Who We Are

We're families, educators, and community members united in our belief that public schools are the heart of our community.

FACS' mission is to celebrate and defend our public schools through advocating for fully funded, just, and inclusive learning communities for all students. We believe that public education is a public good and that our schools are the heart of our community.

We aim to bridge the gaps from home to school, school to leadership, and leadership to our key decision makers.

Our goal is to empower families to proudly choose to attend our public schools and to have our public school systems be the schools of choice in our community.

When you invest in our children, you invest in our community!

Our Values

  1. Public education is a public good and our public schools are the heart of our community.

  2. We are proud of our public schools and seek ways to advocate for their success.

  3. Teachers and staff should be able to afford to live where they work.

  4. Democracy is not a spectator sport, and our collective voice is necessary for standing up for our schools while public education is under attack.

  5. Public schools are for all children, and it is the community's job to participate in this works.

  6. We are thinking beyond our own children. When we support every student and every school, we build a stronger community for everyone.
