Staff, teachers, administrators--not to mention parents, community members and politicians--are constantly making decisions about what is fair and best for students. At Common Ground our mission is to take this conversation to the voices most marginalized in the discussion: real students with real meaningful thoughts regarding equity in schools. Common Ground attempts to upend the traditional power structures by moderating conversations between students and staff in honest, open and respectful examination of school culture as we attempt to answer the question “What is best for students?”
