Reclaiming Public Education as a Constitutional Right for Every Child

Across the country, public education is under pressure. As more states expand voucher programs and divert funds to private schooling, public schools are left with fewer resources and growing inequities — especially in rural and underfunded districts.

The Universal School Rights Amendment is a model state constitutional proposal that re-centers the promise of public education. It guarantees every child access to a high-quality public education as a constitutional right — not a budget line item or political bargaining chip.

This proposal sets clear, enforceable standards for education quality and funding. It phases out broad voucher programs, protects access for high-need students, and ensures that public dollars stay in public schools. 

Most importantly, it gives families, students, and educators the legal tools they need to hold the system accountable.

Public education is not a commodity. It’s a civic promise. This amendment helps us keep it.
