RAPS

Responsible Action for Public Schools

Strong public schools build strong communities.

We are a local, nonpartisan group of parents, professionals, and advocates who recognize and appreciate Sheridan County's tradition of excellence in public education.

We believe every child deserves a safe, secure learning environment and policies that maximize respect for teaching and learning.

Our purpose is to elect school board trustees who share those values.
