The problems and challenges facing large urban and suburban school systems today are as critical to education as those facing inner-city schools. However, until 1973, there was no single organization which could effectively unite these large districts. In September, 1973, following more than a year of planning, The National Federation of Urban-Suburban School Districts now had an organization which would represent their views. examine mutual problems, analyze operations and generally work together on major issues. The National Federation of Urban-Suburban School Districts seeks to serve and represent those urban-suburban school systems which have similar problems and wish to affiliate for unified action.The purpose of the Federation is to further the cause of education by:
promoting the exchange of ideas and knowledge about issues and concerns of member school systems;
undertaking important studies unique to member school systems; and
facilitating dissemination of results of these studies through a network of communication between member systems.
