Kettering Foundation How can citizens and educators work together to shape their public schools? boy in a public school


Kettering studies the relationship between the public and the education system, exploring practices that can help the public regain a sense of ownership over their public schools.

The Public and its Public Schools
More educators have come to recognize — or been forced to admit — that the success of their work requires the active collaboration of parents and other community actors.

Who Owns the Public Schools?
Instead of moving closer to the public schools, Americans are moving away.

Building Public Engagement
By deliberating together, members of a community can build a partnership to share responsibility and authority for the education of their young people.

Professional Studies
Kettering conducts collaborative research with a variety of professional organizations to try and understand their perception of the public-public school relationship.
