Read our Demands for Great Schools 

Every student deserves a rich, hands-on learning experience. Students should receive individualized attention from teachers. Washington, D.C.’s schools should be racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse and places where parents and students are welcomed as active participants in decision-making. Students should receive health care, nutrition, and counseling services.

Join the Washington Teachers Union as we Take Action to ensure all students – regardless of race, ethnicity, immigration status, zip code, or luck in a school lottery - receive world class educational opportunities.
