The national elections are now behind us, and it’s time to focus on healing and working together for a stronger, more united future for our nation. We all share a desire for opportunity and progress, and our commitment to these ideals will guide us forward.

At AFSA, we extend our best wishes to President-elect Donald Trump as he takes on his responsibilities as our nation’s 47th president. We stand ready to collaborate and offer our support in addressing the critical issues of public education and labor.  

As school leaders serving communities across the country, we understand the power of coming together, listening and fostering open-minded discussions. Now is our opportunity to lead by example, to build bridges, and to create spaces where ideas and people unite. Together, let’s take the first steps toward a future built on understanding, empathy and shared purpose.

Be well, stay well.
