Abstract | The strength and effectiveness of the American public school system has risen to the top of our national agenda in a way not seen since the Cold War. In short, the civic health of communities, the states, and the nation is inextricably entwined with the capacity and the potency of public schools. In this brief, the authors argue that mayors, as the person responsible for a municipality's overall well-being, are uniquely positioned to identify and promote productive school models and advocate for all students, regardless of what type of school they attend. Whether or not a mayor has any direct or formal role in its management, the strength of their city's local school offerings reflects on the municipality. It is also true that resources for public education are inherently limited. While some cities are feeling more financial pressure than others, none have unlimited funds. That means municipal and education leaders always face choices about where to put those scarce resources. While schools operate with funds from federal, state, and local sources (and sometimes a share of municipal monies), there are policies that emerge about what schools should operate and for whom.
