There is little in the realm of public policy that can advance opportunity, family, and the American creed as powerfully as does education. Yet, it can seem today that too many are intent on using education to promote bureaucracy, division, and a war on rigor. The Conservative Education Reform Network seeks to rectify this problem by cultivating a national community of conservative leaders in education, spanning a broad array of issue areas, positions, regions, and viewpoints. Through the network, we hope to foster meaningful efforts to promote solutions for students and families in the areas of early childhood, K–12, and higher education.

The network boasts more than 850 members, hailing from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., working in a variety of roles, and offering a far-flung range of expertise.
