Mission
PAA is a grassroots organization that connects parents of all backgrounds across the United States to share ideas and work together to improve our nation’s public schools. PAA is committed to bringing the voice of public school parents – and common sense – to local, state, and national education debates.
Recent Successes

- We have exposed the many inequities in educational opportunity for low income children and children of color, and are actively working to promote programs to address these inequities.
- Our 50 chapters and affiliates around the country are leaders in local opt out movements, challenging charter expansion, raising an alarm about the incursion of digital devices and programs in our schools, etc.
