Linked - Linked Public Schools

LinkEd was founded by parents to improve education in Bakersfield for all children. We believe that parents deserve to choose what school their child attends. We are committed to working with families to provide choice and excellence for all children. We believe that bringing diverse groups together will help us build a stronger, united future for the Bakersfield community. We envision an education system in Kern County where young people do not need to leave the Valley to achieve their dreams. We hold a vision for transformational change in education that includes-Every child is prepared to meet the technological demands of the 21st century-Youth who are connected and deeply engaged with the community, mentored, encouraged and find success-An educational landscape that offers families a variety of tuition free schools of choice-Educational leaders who are inspired to lead with courage and conviction to cut out bureaucracy, put students first, and achieve equity-Community members who are united in supporting our youth and work together to provide hope for the future of our community-Embracing diversity as our strength and diverse groups come together to advance the whole community, close gaps, and achieve equity in our community.
