The Macks Center for Jewish Education will host a School Choice Fair from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 22 (snow date: Jan. 29) in the auditorium of the Jewish Community Center.

Families in the greater Baltimore area are invited, especially Jewish families and families with children with special needs.

At the fair, parents can find information about alternatives to the traditional public school system, including charter schools, private schools, scholarship programs, home schooling, legal initiatives to expand educational opportunities, and more.

“We are excited about this year’s School Choice Info Fair! Last year one of our families secured a fabulous placement in a Baltimore City charter school after attending our fair, which has made a world of difference. This year we are excited to have two additional schools represented, as well as many other resources,” said Martha Goodman, coordinator, MDSNAP at the Macks Center for Jewish Education.

Maryland Special Needs Advocacy Project provides free information on the special education process and on schools and other educational resources in our area.

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.
