The mission of the Policy Innovators in Education (PIE) Network is to build, support and promote a network of education advocacy organizations working to improve K-12 education in their states so that every student graduates world-ready.
PIE Network members are nonpartisan in ideas and bipartisan in approach, providing a consistent, evidence-based, and credible public voice in the process of education policy-making.
All are committed to pursuing and protecting state-level policies that:
• Close achievement gaps and help all students graduate from high school world-ready.
• Create urgency to improve low-performing schools and school districts.
• Increase teacher effectiveness and school accountability.
• Advance and protect quality charter schools and other options for parent choice.
• Improve transparency, equity, and productivity of educational funding systems.
The network connects and supports 34 member groups in 23 states and the District of Columbia. Collectively, our members regularly represent more than 300,000 voters who care about reform.
