Education Rights Network

Education Rights Network, develops and strengthens a broad-base of parent leaders to achieve fully-resourced, inclusive and quality education, for children Pre-K~21in Pittsburgh PA. We oppose the overuse and misuse of exclusionary discipline practices, that push students out of schools and into the juvenile criminal justice system or into poverty. ERN guides parent leaders to utilize collective action, to create powerful vehicles to achieve disability and racial justice in their public school and communities. Our community organizing work has led to district-wide, systemic change that will improve outcomes for students who experience persistent gaps and inequities in educational outcomes.
