Held every January, National School Choice Week highlights educational options for children across our country. Every type of education provider is celebrated. Whether public school choice in the form of open enrollment, magnets, charter schools, or private schools, virtual schools, home schooling, it makes no difference.
National School Choice Week began in 2011 with 150 national events. In 2015, there were over 11,000 events, and now in 2016 there is a record breaking 16,140 events across the country.
Today at noon there will be a presentation at the John Locke Foundation. Darrell Allison, President of Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina, will speak and share his insight regarding the progress of school choice in our state.
