Celebrating National School Choice Week: Join Us in Advocating for Educational Freedom
Empowering Parents to Choose the Best Educational Path for Their Children
As National School Choice Week approaches, we celebrate the progress made in expanding school choice in Ohio. Yet, we never want to take it for granted. Remember, the government belongs to those who show up!
During the week of January 26, we encourage all school choice advocates—parents, grandparents, students, alumni, taxpayers—to contact elected officials and thank them for supporting school choice initiatives and advocating for parental rights to choose the best educational options for their children. Your voice is vital in ensuring our lawmakers stand firm as the opposition grows.
