Jan. 24-30 is South Dakota School Choice Week, which corresponds with National School Choice Week, to raise awareness about school options in K-12 education.
National School Choice Week has turned virtual this year due to the pandemic, and South Dakota families, schools, and organizations will be participating with more than 60 virtual or at-home celebrations. The week’s activities aim to celebrate the school choices available to families and spark timely conversations about how parents can find the best educational fit for their children.
Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week says the week is about spotlighting the kids, parents, and educators who are impacted every day by school choices. He says it’s inspiring to see South Dakota families speaking up for the choices they appreciate and the choices they wish they had.
National School Choice Week shines a spotlight on effective K-12 education options for children. As a not-for-profit effort, the Week focuses equally on traditional public, charter, magnet, online, private and home education options. Every January, participants plan tens of thousands of events and activities. Year-round, National School Choice Week develops resources and guides to assist families searching for schools or learning environments for their children.
Nationwide, more than 33,000 independently planned activities will safely raise awareness about opportunity in education. Schools of every type– traditional public, public magnet, public charter, private, online and homeschool– will join in the celebration.
