Nonprofit Overview

Mission:
A+ Schools is an independent community advocate for improvement in public education in Pittsburgh.
Our vision is a community mobilized to improve public education to produce successive generations of young people who thrive and who build their families and futures in Pittsburgh.
Our purpose is to be a community force advancing the highest educational achievement and character development for every public school student.A+ Schools informs, engages and mobilizes the community for improvement in three strategic areas of the Pittsburgh Public Schools – governance, equity, and teaching. Our work will be done when:
- Pittsburgh has a school board focused on setting and monitoring policies that improve student outcomes.
- Every student in the Pittsburgh Public Schools benefits from excellent classroom instruction.
- Pittsburgh has an equitable school system resulting in the elimination of the racial achievement gap and the realization of all students achieving at high levels
Geographic areas served: Greater Pittsburgh
Programs: A+ Schools believes that in order to achieve a strong public school system we must have effective leaders who are fully accountable, fiscally responsible and strategically focused on moving the district forward. A district governed by a focused school board that functions with purpose, transparency, respect, responsibility and competency will allow students to achieve their maximum potential.
Board Watch is a grassroots effort established by A+ Schools that is meant to ensure effective school board governance. It involves volunteers who are trained to observe Pittsburgh Public School Board meetings as independent, informed, nonpartisan citizen evaluators of the School Board’s governance.
