students using skills learned in their 3D Printing classes to design and print birdfeeders.

I believe in
#SchoolChoice
because
#CharterSchools
give the power of choice to students and their families. Giving parents the choice to pick the best school option for their child is a path towards the best educational outcomes!
The Florida Department of Education just released 2022 grades, and I would like to congratulate all of our

#Florida
A-Rated schools! Excellence does not come easily; it is the result of hard work, dedication, and passion of every member of our CSUSA family.
#CSUSAProud
Parents should be in charge of where their child goes to school, regardless of their economic situation. The reason why
#CharterSchools
have grown so quickly is because parents recognize that public education shouldn’t be a one size fits all model.

for springing into action to help a fellow student, an act that earned him the Do The Right Thing Award from the

Sheriff's Office. Iker, you are a shining example of our motto Strong Minds, Good Hearts!

Recent studies found that the presence of
#charterschools
resulted in improvements for students in district-run schools. Competition drives improvement;
#schoolchoice
options need to be available to all parents in order to create better outcomes!
74% of voters support parents’ ability to choose where their child is educated. Many elected officials have responded, but there is still room for
#SchoolChoice
to grow in over 31 states.
Celebrating 25 years of CSUSA this year, I have so much to be thankful for! Our relentless commitment to student success gave thousands of families access to better education. Happy
#Thanksgiving
to our entire

It’s great to see US Senators like
@votetimscott
fighting for better education by introducing the Empower Charter School Educators to Lead Act which would authorize federal funding for streamlining

legislation.

It's ok to teach right and wrong; it's not just ok, it's something that I require. We do this with a relentless purpose, passion, integrity, and grit.

Politics should never get in the way of what is best for students. The

County School Board is trying to close two high performing

Our motto at
@CSUSAhq
is Putting Students First because education traditionally is an adult centered model, when it should be centered around the kids. This year, more legislators put more families in a position to choose where they send their children to school.
#SchoolChoice
How do you raise the quality of all schools? Competition. It drives innovation and encourages schools to do better. But it is important to remember that quality
#SchoolChoice
options need to be available to all parents in order to create true competition.

Whether you live in a big city or the country,

have proven to be an effective instrument for closing the achievement gap between wealthy and low income families. All students deserve a great education.
Jessica’s situation is a prime example of why we need tuition-free

options for students in all 50 states. I believe every student has a right to a high-quality

Social Emotional Learning (

not only science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, but also how to be a good person and make ethical decisions.

It is never a bad thing to have competition. Competition is always a way to move the best to the top; schools are no different. Schools that do a great job will always succeed. And this greatness will encourage other schools to also do a better job.
