Governor LePage Proclaims Jan. 22-28 "Maine School Choice Week"; Joins Leaders Nationwide in Celebrating Opportunity in EducationMaine Governor Paul LePage has officially proclaimed Jan. 22-28 as "Maine School Choice Week." Fourteen other governors and more than 500 mayors and county leaders have issued proclamations of School Choice Week. The largest-ever celebration of opportunity in education, National School Choice Week will feature more than 21,000 independently planned events around the country, including more than 70 in Maine. 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. "We are happy to have the support of Governor LePage and the state of Maine, home to one of the oldest school choice programs in the country," said Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week. The school choice movement has spread to nearly every state in America, thanks to the growing enthusiasm and support for parents who want to provide the best education possible for their children." 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.
