The Santa Monica-Malibu Council of PTAs, in collaboration with a partnership of parents, teachers, staff, administrators and students, has organized the week in order to give people a close-up look at public education here and now.

All the schools in the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District will be open during Public School Week, December 3-7.
