This site is dedicated to the proposition that Knowledge Has Value.  A free public education is essential to American democracy.

The American economy is changing from an industrial base to  what economists call a "Knowledge Economy."  More jobs require higher levels of education and knowledge.  These jobs tend to have higher pay. Now, more than ever, a well-educated population is essential to America's well-being.

The value comes at many levels.  Knowledge gives value to:
 
  •    Local communities
  •    Your state and nation
  •    You and your family

American education, and the people who work to provide it to our children,  must be valued.
