About usOur MissionThe mission of AVAILABLE TO ALL is to ensure that all public schools are\u201cavailable to all on equal terms\u201das promised by Chief Justice Earl Warren\u2019s famous opinion in Brown v. Board of Education.Our VisionAs a nonpartisan watchdog, AVAILABLE TO ALL aims to increase the public\u2019s access to the best public schools by:Exposing unfair or illegal enrollment practices by any public schoolDocumenting how these policies are bad for American families and the American social contractSupporting parents in gaining equal access to public schoolsAdvocating for legislative and policy reforms that will open up the schoolsLitigating cases against districts and schools that break the lawBasic standards of fairness and openness should apply to the admissions policies of all public schools, including charter schools, magnet schools, traditional public schools with attendance zones, and all others. It is vitally important for our social contract that the best public schools be open to the public.Partner OrganizationsStaffBoard of Directors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","content-type":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/availabletoall.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/58"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/availabletoall.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/availabletoall.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/availabletoall.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/availabletoall.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/availabletoall.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/58\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1245,"href":"https:\/\/availabletoall.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/58\/revisions\/1245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/availabletoall.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
