Rep. Wilson to Tour South Carolina 2nd Congressional District SchoolsU.S. Representative Joe Wilson will celebrate the National School Choice Week by touring multiple educational options Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 17-18. The tour will include Horse Creek Academy, a charter school in Aiken, from 2 to 3 p.m. Jan. 17. Rep. Wilson will also visit Aiken Area Home Educators, a homeschool group in Aiken, and Meadow Glenn Middle School in Lexington. These visits are closed to the media. National School Choice Week 2017 (January 22-28, 2017) will make history with more than 21,000 school choice events across all 50 states. Rep. Wilson will be in Washington, D.C. during National School Choice Week and will recognize it in his district the week before. "I'm grateful to recognize National School Choice week by visiting schools across the Second Congressional District," Rep. Wilson said. "Choice is critical in education-students and parents, not the federal government, should have te option to choose what is best for their family. I look forward to working in Congress to ensure that all parents and students have the opportunity to choose their education-whether it is homeschooling, public school, private school, charter school, or magnet school. I especially appreciate the value of educators, as my wife Roxanne is a retired school teacher."

As a nonpartisan, nonpolitical public awareness effort, National School Choice Week shines a positive spotlight on effective education options for students, families, and communities around the country.
