Tim DeRoche

President

Before launching Available to All, Tim DeRoche wrote and published A Fine Line: How Most American Kids are Kept Out of the Best Public Schools, which traces modern-day public school attendance zones back to the racist redlining practices of the early 20th century. An alumnus of the global strategic management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, Tim was an independent consultant for over 20 years, serving Fortune 500 companies, leading foundations, and some of the most innovative nonprofits in K12 education. He has written on education policy for TIME, the Free Press, Education Next, the Washington Post, Education Week, School Administrator, the Los Angeles Business Journal, and the 74. He is the author of three Amazon bestsellers, A Fine Line, a book of light verse Tales of Whimsy, Verses of Woe, and The Ballad of Huck & Miguel, a modern-day retelling of Mark Twain’s classic set on the Los Angeles River.

Every year thousands of American kids are unfairly or illegally turned away from public schools. Hear their stories and how we are fighting back on their behalf.

PRIVACY POLICY

“In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education. Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms.”

– Chief Justice Earl Warren of the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education (1954)
