CAAASA and Education is a Civil Right
CAAASA was organized in 1993. Its membership consists of African-American school superintendents, deputy and assistant superintendents, and middle level, beginning level, and aspiring administrators. CAAASA partners with the National Alliance of Black School Educators (NABSE), a thirty-six-year-old membership organization of more than five thousand African-American educators, whose mission is to promote the education of African-American and other underachieving students. CAAASA has been joined by NABSE in declaring "Education is a Civil Right" and insists that this nation establish a zero tolerance policy on illiteracy, dropping out of school, and failure in education.Education is a Civil Right
The historic and documented underachievement of African-American students in public schools throughout the nation is the most glaring inequity and unfulfilled initiative of the incessant struggle for social justice during the 20th and 21st centuries. Educational justice remains the most significant civil right that has not been provided to all African-American students and families.
