Statement of Values

To hold our public education systems accountable, we, the undersigned individuals and organizations, believe the public has a right to information held by our institutions of public education.

The American way of life demands that government operate in the open to be responsive to the public, to foster trust and confidence in government, and to encourage public participation in civic and government institutions. Our public schools should be no exception.

The public's right to know promotes equal and equitable access to public education, encourages integrity in official conduct, and prevents undisclosed and undue influence from special interests.

The Rochester Fund for Educational Accountability and the Coalition for Sunshine in our Schools seeks to advance the public's right to know and to reduce secrecy in our public school systems.
