Our Core Beliefs

We believe that when every child receives a transformative education, it strengthens communities, making them better places to live, work, and raise a family.

We are committed to advancing opportunities and outcomes for students with disabilities, in rural areas, from low-income backgrounds, of color, English learners, and all who have been chronically underserved in Alabama. There is no excellence when all students do not receive the support and resources they need.

Partners acknowledge, respect, and celebrate the diversity of organizational missions and priorities represented within the coalition. Because of this, partners proactively seek consensus and strategically pursue actions that build on shared issues and concerns – put colloquially, “the 80% we agree on.”
