A HUGE thank you for another AMAZING rally!
School Choice Supporters showed major support for school choice in Georgia!
As a part of National School Choice Week over 2,200 supporters celebrated Georgia’s school choice options and rallied in support of a quality education for ALL Georgia students! All school choice options available were celebrated –– traditional public schools, public charter schools, private schools (including Special Needs and Tax Credit Scholarship participants), homeschools, and online schools. We even had a special visit by WNBA superstar Lisa Leslie. After the rally, students flocked into the Capitol to tell legislators their school choice stories.
Be sure to share your story with us for a chance to have former White House Chef Walter Scheib prepare lunch for your school!
