Hundreds of parents, students, teachers, and community leaders will raise awareness and encourage parents to find out more about school choice at a rally timed to coincide with National School Choice Week.
The event, planned for January 24 at 9:30 a.m., will feature a rally on the steps of City Hall. Students and parents representing every type of school – from traditional public schools to public charter schools, public magnet schools, online academies, private schools, and home educators – will speak and be featured in student performances. More than 600 people are expected to attend the event at the City Hall Plaza.
The goal of the event is to spotlight educational options for Colorado students and encourage more parents to review their school choice options. The celebration is timed to coincide with National School Choice Week (January 21-27, 2018), which will feature more than 32,000 events across the country.
"Parents Challenge is proud to be a sponsor of National School Choice Week because we believe that many educational options help parents to become better education consumers in advocating for their children," said Deborah Hendrix, executive director of Parents Challenge.
The lead organizer of the event is Parents Challenge.
Held every January, National School Choice Week is an independent public awareness effort designed to shine a positive spotlight on effective education options for every child. Through more than 32,000 independently planned events across the country, National School Choice Week raises public awareness of all types of educational choices available to children. These options include traditional public schools, public charter schools, public magnet schools, online learning, private schools, and homeschooling.
