City Forward Collective

We are a team of school leaders, educators, and passionate advocates working together to eliminate educational inequity and ensure every child has access to a great school.

Our four-part strategy was created with significant input from a diverse group of stakeholders. It is formulated to create and sustain the conditions necessary for enduring, significant, positive change.

FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZING: Our city’s parents and communities need a true voice in education.

COMMUNITY-INFORMED POLICY: Our city needs laws and policies that foster the growth of great schools.

EFFECTIVE AND REPRESENTATIVE TALENT: Our city needs educators who are fully equipped to do the work

QUALITY SCHOOLS Our city needs significant, strategic capital investment to dramatically increase the number of high-quality schools.
