Charter Schools Day at Statehouse to Feature Hundreds of Parents, StudentsCharter school students and their parents will rally at the State Capitol building at 9 a.m. Monday, Jan. 22, celebrating the type of education they have chosen. Parents and students will speak at the event, as will Roger Brainerd (News - Alert), president of the Maine Association for Charter Schools. Attendees will hold signs and talk about why they love their schools. About 200 people are expected to attend. This event is planned to coincide with the history-making celebration of National School Choice Week 2018, which will feature more than 32,000 school choice events across all 50 states. "School choice provides thousands of families across Maine a choice in how their children are educated," said Ryan Gough of Public School Options. "It's essential that Mainers have school options. We trust parents because they know their kids best, and we're xcited to celebrate National School Choice Week so we can tell our legislators that they should continue to trust parents as well." Event organizers include Public School Options and the Maine Association of Charter Schools. For more information, contact Ryan Gough at [email protected] or (515) 867-1997. 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.
