Good Schools Pennsylvania set out to establish 1,000 Groups of 10. Ten thousand new citizen advocates were to demand high quality public eductaion. The campaign provieds Groups of 10 with information on the challenges of funding and quality in public educaiton as well as the opportunities that local residents have to affect these issues. The Groups of 10 meet once a month, learn about the issues and write letters to their State Reps, State Senators. Members also have the opportunity for legislative visits.
==Background==
The first statewide campign to combine education policy, grassroots organizing and a high profile communications strategy to create a movement for educational justice. The changes that are necessary to improve schools will occur when we all join together and educate community residents, civic leaders and elected officials to expand funding, reform the funding distribution formula, pass a set of common sense standards for excellence and institute the accountability measures necessary for every child to succeed.
