DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Governor Hickenlooper has proclaimed Jan. 22-28 as School Choice Week in Colorado, joining 14 other governors and more than 500 city and county leaders nationwide in issuing similar proclamations.
National School Choice Week 2017 will be the largest-ever celebration of opportunity in education. More than 21,000 independently planned events will commemorate the Week, including more than 500 in Colorado. Events include rallies, roundtable discussions, coffeehouse meet-ups, festivals, school fairs, and more.
National School Choice Week is a nonpartisan, nonpolitical effort seeking to raise awareness of the school choice options parents have, or want to have, for their children.
“Thanks to Gov. Hickenlooper, School Choice Week is official in Colorado,” said Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week. “Parents in Colorado, like parents everywhere, want the best education possible for their children. We hope they will take School Choice Week as an opportunity to explore their options and learn what’s available – and what they want to be available.”
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 thousands of 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.
