“When it came to actually switching schools, nearly 60% of [parents] selected a district, public charter or magnet school.” As #SchoolChoiceWeek wraps up, let's not forget this key takeaway from the latest @ntlschoolchoice poll: Access matters. When parents have options, they stay in the public school system and enroll their kids in quality schools.

🎉 Last week, we brought together leaders and lawmakers in Tennessee to celebrate their commitment to ensuring all students have access to high-quality charter public schools. We also honored legislators who championed HB 2922, a bill that provides critical support for at-risk students in charter schools. The momentum for educational justice is building, and we're ready to hit the ground running with you in 2025! @KarenDCamper

⚖️ Today, we reflect on Dr. King’s wisdom and the worthy objectives driving our fight for educational justice: Breaking barriers for Black and Brown students to access a high-quality public education Ending harmful disparities in public school funding Building a diverse teacher pipeline that leads to better outcomes. Let’s carry Dr. King’s words and legacy as inspiration not just today, but all year long. #MLKDay

A new report from @NCTQ shows meaningful progress in states like Texas in closing the gap between teachers of color serving students of color. But in too many other states, progress remains slow or non-existent. Teacher diversity improves outcomes for students of all backgrounds. That's why it's a top priority for FCCS in 2025.
