National School Choice Week Begins Today

1/27/2013

Today marks the beginning of National School Choice Week. This third annual event will run through Feb. 2 and celebrates current school choice options including charters, private schools, online education and home schooling. It also stresses the work that still must be done to bring these options to all children and their parents across the country.
According to the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, 49 million public school students still do not have a choice when it comes to K-12 education. Instead, they are forced to attend neighborhood public schools, even if those schools are unsafe, failing, or simply do not fit their child’s needs.

Parents should have the power to decide where their child will attend school and to choose the type of education that will best suit their needs. We can make choices about nearly every aspect of our lives and education should be no different, especially because it impacts a child’s future.

Over the next week there will be 3,500 events across the country, showing the power of school choice and asking lawmakers to expand choice to all children. For more info and to see what events are happening near you, go to www.schoolchoiceweek.com.
