Some priorities include:

    • A welcoming environment for all families into the school community
    • Effective communication
    • Supporting student success
    • A voice for every child
    • Power sharing
    • Community collaboration
  • Supporting policies that review and modify state-rated capacity formula.
  • Supporting policies that states that no single test be considered the sole determinant of a student’s eligibility for high school graduation, college acceptance, or future.
  • The AACCPTA OPPOSES public funding for private and religiously based schools via appropriations, vouchers, scholarships, or tax credits.
  • The AACCPTA OPPOSES Charter school legislation that does not set the same high standards for oversight, instruction, and financial management that w currently have with local school boards being the authorized agency.
