Mission Statement:The Cross City Campaign for Urban School Reform is a national network of school reformers who support efforts to create high-quality schools that ensure educational success for all urban young people. We advocate for sweeping policies and practices that move authority, resources, and accountability to the school level, reconnect schools with their communities, and completely rethink the role of school districts. We are committed to urban public schools that challenge and inspire all students to achieve to high standards.
