Parental discontent is surging as thousands of schools have returned to virtual learning due to the omicron variant. A recent survey found that 52% of families are considering moving their children to new schools as parents look to escape a public school system ravaged by teacher shortages. National School Choice Week provides the perfect opportunity to continue pushing for parental school choice and build on the progress made by the 18 states that either created or expanded school choice programs in 2021.
During National School Choice Week, parent-led groups will hold over 26,000 events celebrating school choice. In a 2021 Club for Growth event, former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo argued that expanding school choice will create new opportunities for America’s children.
