Governor Sandoval Proclaims January 24-30 "School Choice Week" Joining Leaders Nationwide in Celebrating Opportunity in EducationNevada Governor Brian Sandoval has officially proclaimed January 24-30, 2016 as "School Choice Week" in Nevada. Governor Sandoval joins thirty other governors and 230 mayors and county leaders nationwide in issuing proclamations. With more than 130 events being held to celebrate the Week in Nevada alone - and with more than 16,000 independently organized events across all 50 states - National School Choice Week will be America's largest-ever celebration of opportunity in education. Events will include rallies, round-table discussions, coffeehouse meet-ups, festivals, school fairs, and more. As a nonpartisan, nonpolitical public awareness effort, National School Choice Week seeks to raise public awareness about school choice to start tens of thousands of individual conversations across our country about the need for, and benefits of, educational opportunity. "We are grateful for Governor Sandoval's support for School Choice Week in Nevada," said Adrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week. "The growth in enthusiasm surrounding National School Choice Week demonstrates that Americans in communities across the country recognize, more than ever before, the importance of ensuring that all children have the opportunity to learn and to pursue their own American dreams." 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.
