About us

Fund SPS is a group of concerned Seattle Public Schools parents committed to advocating on behalf of all Seattle kids. We stand in opposition to SPS’ plan for mass closures because it will not provide “well-resourced schools” or solve the budget crisis the district faces. Our District is in crisis, and the lack of accountability and financial oversight to address the entire budget deficit by the administration and the School Board is unacceptable. Our children deserve a stable, transparent, well-resourced, and safe educational environment.

Fund SPS is committed to providing tools to parents to help create the lasting, sustained outreach necessary to fix school funding in Washington State. Our schools belong to the community, and it is both our right and duty to ensure that the district provides the resources necessary to support every child's development. Our children's future depends on a well-funded education system. That’s why we’re also focused on advocating with the Washington State Legislature to fully fund public education.

How We Started
Fund SPS was started in June of 2024 as a committee of the North Beach Elementary PTA. The community recognized that the advocacy needed in Seattle extended beyond a single school building. We are proud to continue the PTA’s legacy of advocacy as we work for all Seattle Public School students.

All Together for Seattle Schools is the leading organization at the forefront of this movement, considered the primary source for information, strategy, and advocacy regarding Seattle Public Schools' funding and the pushback against proposed school closures. They are driving the citywide effort to keep schools open, ensure fiscal transparency, and create a better path forward for education in Seattle. Fund SPS provides tools and resources to parents to support this mission, but All Together for Seattle Schools leads the charge in shaping the direction and taking decisive action on these issues.
