U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York recently met with Richard Jackson, AFSA vice president, and discussed several critical issues confronting educators in this 2023–24 school year.
AFSA President Dr. Leonard P. Pugliese writes, "APs have more direct connections than anyone else in a school. The advisory relationship with principals, teachers, parents and students tends to be very close."

The memorial is a somber and poignant tribute and place of deep emotion—a site that evokes both sadness and respect for the sacrifices made by educators in service to others.
“Women must speak up. Even though sometimes we are in the minority, we know that our voices often lead others through turbulent times. A great leader knows her strengths and uses them to make positive change. I am a voice for women.”
“We have to really start looking at education and we have to go deeper. We have to focus on teacher practices to make learning more student-based and get them beyond the surface of learning.”
