SACRAMENTO >> Supporters of school choice — including students, parents, teachers, and community leaders — will Celebrate School Choice Week in California by gathering at the capital on Monday, Jan. 25.
At 10 a.m. on the west steps of the California State Capitol, school choice supporters plan to share their stories about how school choice can make a difference in a student’s life. Families representing traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, homeschooling organizations, and virtual schools are expected to gather.
The celebration is timed to coincide with National School Choice Week (Jan. 24-30), which organizers believe will be America’s largest-ever celebration of “opportunity in education,” with more than 16,000 events being planned.
“This week is an opportunity for parents, students, educators, and advocates to come together in support of educational opportunity for all our children,” said Shirley Ford of Parent Revolution. “We are thrilled to be a part of telling the stories of students for whom choice has made a big difference.”
