JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Gov.
Mike Dunleavy issued a proclamation
naming Jan. 26-Feb. 1 Alaska School
Choice Week. In doing so, he joined dozens of other governors and
hundreds of city and county leaders nationwide who have issued
similar statements.
During Alaska School Choice Week, students, parents, and
community members will participate in 93 events and activities to
raise awareness about school choice. These events are some of the
50,000 celebrations — including rallies, roundtable discussions,
coffeehouse meet-ups, festivals, school fairs, and more — taking
place during National School Choice Week.
National School Choice Week represents the nation's largest ever
celebration of educational opportunity, and seeks to raise
awareness about the school options parents want for their
children.
"We're very glad that Alaska is
participating in this celebration of education," said Andrew Campanella, president of National School
Choice Week. "We're grateful that Gov. Dunleavy issued the
proclamation and we hope School Choice Week's activities leave
Alaska families encouraged and
informed."
As a nonpartisan, nonpolitical public awareness effort, National
School Choice Week shines a positive spotlight on effective
education options for students, families, and communities around
the country. From January 26 through
February 1, 2020, more than 50,000 independently-planned
events will be held in celebration of the Week. For more
