WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) and 22 of his colleagues introduced a resolution declaring this week as National School Choice Week. 

In a time when COVID-19 has severely limited access to quality education for many, parents across the country continue to recognize the importance of school choice. According to a new survey released by the American Federation for Children, 72% of K-12 parents who work full-time support school choice.

“School choice provides families across North Carolina, and the country, the option to enroll their children in a school that best fits the educational and social needs of that individual child,” said Senator Tillis. “Allowing parents to choose where they want their child to learn, instead of the district making that decision based on zip codes, should be commonsense for my colleagues on both sides of the aisle. I am proud to co-sponsor this designation of 'National School Choice Week' so we can bring awareness to educational choice and celebrate leaders in our communities who are dedicated to the betterment of our children’s future.”
