WHO WE ARE
We were first created in 2008 after serious cuts were proposed to online learning, and we were successful as parents in action, to stopping them. Later we were instrumental in working with our elected officials to make online learning a permanent fixture in public education. Every year we will continue to work hard to protect our kids and public education.
We Support Distance Learning Education in Arizona
Arizona Parents for Education is a group of parents committed to protecting and advocating for our children and to ensure they have the tools they need to be successful in Arizona’s online schools. Sometimes due to unique family or individual child’s situation which may include medical concerns, safety issues, or students who aren’t able to be safe or successful in a traditional public school. That’s where distance learning comes in. With a tailored curriculum and topnotch teachers, our kids get back on track and stay on track.
WHAT WE DO
We Protect, Advocate & Inform
Arizona Parents for Education is an alliance OF parents FOR parents that supports and defends parents’ rights to access the best public school options for their children. We keep other parents and policymakers informed when it comes to legislation or policies that may have a positive or negative impact on their child’s education. We support innovative education programs and policies that are conducive to public school options, including charter schools, online schools, magnet schools, and open enrollment policies.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Online Schools are Public Schools! Our classrooms might not look like your child’s classroom, but they deserve to be treated just like other public schools. And our schools and students are accountable to the same standards as other public schools.
Distance Learning Works Where Traditional Schools Don’t
Sometimes due to unique family situations or medical challenges, students aren’t able to be successful in a traditional public school. That’s where distance learning comes in. With a tailored curriculum and topnotch teachers, our kids get back on track and stay on track.
Online Schools Deserve Full Funding
A balanced state budget shouldn’t come at the expense of our state’s children. Please promise our kids that you will not cut funding for these unique public schools.
