"Ohio families and educators are speaking up about the learning opportunities that are working for their students, as well as the opportunities students are still waiting for," said Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week. "It is truly inspiring to see Ohio's growing enthusiasm for school choice and we are grateful to Gov. DeWine for highlighting the importance of every child receiving an effective education."

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 –– such as school fairs, open houses, and student showcases –– to raise awareness about school choice across all 50 states. Year-round, National School Choice Week develops resources and guides to assist families searching for schools or learning environments for their children. The effort is nonpolitical and nonpartisan and does not advocate for legislation.
