While our agenda and activities may change, the Alliance is guided by six core beliefs:

• A strong public school system is essential for educating all students to become contributing members of society.
• A world class education is an investment in a vibrant community and a strong economy.
• A collective commitment to high quality education requires strong, proactive, courageous leadership at all levels.
• Educating and informing stakeholders creates ownership and advocacy for public education.
• Regional collaboration and healthy dialogue among school, business, and government and community groups promote effective public policy.
• Objective and accurate information, research, and data provide the foundation for sound public policy.
