Programs and policies offering school choice opportunities expanded in 19 states in 2021, and parents are exploring these options, with 52 percent saying they have considered a new or different school in the last year. Millions of teachers, students, and community leaders across the nation are sharing their hopes and needs for the future of K-12 education as the twelfth annual National School Choice Week (Jan. 23-29) kicks off. Throughout the Week, participants will raise awareness at more than 26,000 events that families do have options and community help when it comes to navigating K-12 education. Besides in-person events, families and teachers will publish op-eds, post on social media, and attend virtual informational sessions on educational choice. School Choice Week is non-political and non-partisan, and is celebrated by families and educational organizations of every school type: traditional public, public charter, public magnet, private, online, and homeschooling. The Week takes place in January to support parents as they consider enrollment options for the upcoming school year.  More information, visit www.schoolchoiceweek.com/mystate.
