Bringing The Public Education Promise to Life: An Action Guide

An Action Guide for School Districts Nationwide

The Public Education Promise is AASA's bold commitment to create schools that ignite hope, build resilience, and equip every child with the real skills and confidence to navigate life as adults.

But a promise is only as strong as the action behind it. That is why AASA’s District Services—rooted in the Portrait of a Graduate—exist. These services give districts and communities the tools, strategies, and support to live the Promise, not just talk about it.

This guide shows how the Promise can be activated through AASA District Services, mapping each offering to the five principles, so you can move from vision to impact in your community.
