NSBA Center for Public Education

resource for information about supporting public schools

The Center for Public Education (Center) is a national resource for accurate, timely, and

credible information about public education and its importance to the well-being of our

nation. The Center provides up-to-date research, data, and analysis on current education

issues and explores ways to improve student achievement and engage public support for

public schools.

The Center is intended for a variety of audiences, including state and local policymakers,

educators, community leaders, parents, and everyone concerned with the education of

our children — our next generation of leaders.

The Center is a joint initiative of the National School Boards Association (NSBA) and

National School Boards Foundation.

Services

education, including:

Articles about the role of public schools in our society, including a look
