We are a coalition of parents, caregivers, students, teachers, and community members committed to transforming how decisions are made in Kingston City School District.
We believe that our schools work best--are more economical, effective & resilient--when representatives from ALL stakeholder groups have a meaningful role in decision-making before actions are taken.

For 30 years, Kingston school district has fallen short of New York State's requirements for this kind of Shared Decision-Making governance structure under Section 100.11 of Educational Code.
We can work better together for better use of our tax dollars and for our young people.
Join us to:
Create a more collaborative approach to educational decision-making before funds are spent
Ensure tax dollars reflect stakeholder groups' diverse educational priorities
Build a locally resilient education system that responds to community values
Be structurally prepared to slow down executive orders with complex implications to a pace that fits our public school community
Implement the kinds of successful shared governance models already broken in and used for decades by nation-leading NY school districts like Great Neck & Syosett
