CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jan. 23-Jan.
29, 2022 will officially be Wyoming School Choice Week, thanks to a
recent proclamation from Gov. Mark
Gordon. This is the ninth time in ten years that Wyoming
School Choice Week has been proclaimed by the state's governor.
Gov. Gordon joins more than 25 other governors and several
hundred local leaders around the country who have issued
proclamations to coincide with the twelfth annual National School
Choice Week, which celebrates opportunity in K-12 education.
Wyoming parents, teachers, and
community organizers have planned 44 events for the Week, including
school open houses, at home celebrations, and more. The goal of
these events is to celebrate the school choices available to
families and spark conversations about how parents can find the
best educational fit for their children.
Nationwide, more than 26,000 independently planned events will
raise awareness about school choice. Schools of every type –
traditional public, public magnet, public charter, private, online,
and homeschool – will join in the celebration.
"Wyoming students have
different needs and learning styles, and the Week celebrates all
the education options that serve those needs," said Andrew Campanella, president of National School
Choice Week. "We are glad to see Gov. Gordon recognize the Week and
we wish Wyoming families the best
in their festivities."
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.
