Gov. Chris Sununu has officially proclaimed Jan. 22-28 as New Hampshire School Choice Week, joining two dozen governors and more than 600 city and county leaders nationwide in issuing proclamations for the week.

National School Choice Week 2017 will feature more than 21,000 events in the largest-ever celebration of educational opportunity. 116 events are planned in New Hampshire. Events include rallies, roundtable discussions, coffeehouse meet-ups, festivals, school fairs, and more.

National School Choice Week is a nonpartisan, nonpolitical effort seeking to raise awareness about the school choice options parents have, or want to have, for their children.

“We are proud that New Hampshire will join us in the celebrations,” said Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week. “We hope parents in New Hampshire and across the country will talk about what they like and don’t like in their children’s schools and find an educational program that best meets their child’s unique needs and interests.”

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.
