Sample ECA Announcement Sample ECA Announcement Education Consumers Association of Anytown Parents, communities, and schools have mutual but not identical interests in education.
Parents are education's consumers.
Parents make the decision about whether to purchase private schooling or accept free public schooling. Local schools are education's providers. Taxpayers are the employers who hire school personnel to serve the needs of parents and children. Just as parents are the final authorities with regard to their child's medical treatment, they are the senior partners in the working relationship between homes and schools. Recognizing the differing interests of consumers and producers, we have formed the Education Consumers Association of Anytown.
