Who We Are

OPEN was formed in 2017 by Olathe district moms who are former educators and strong advocates for our schools. Our deliberate and data driven processes, combined with a targeted strategic plan, have led to significant success in holding extremism at bay within our community.

We Welcome You

Strong public schools drive strong local economies. We know this community prioritizes investment in our excellent public schools.

Matt Sapp, Executive Director of OPEN

Parents of Olathe students aren’t the only ones who have an interest in keeping extremist policies out of our schools. As our late mayor Mike Copeland always said, “As the schools go, so does the community.”

National organizations with extreme ideologies and agendas have taken an interest in public schools here at home and across the country. The gravity of this situation has become plain to many. The time to actively advocate for our local public schools is now.
