This is a nonbinding House resolution expressing support for designating the week of January 26 through February 1, 2025, as “National School Choice Week.” It emphasizes that families should have a variety of K-12 education options (including traditional public schools, public charter schools, public magnet schools, private schools, online academies, and homeschooling) and that parental choice is a nonpolitical, nonpartisan issue worthy of celebration. The resolution notes that tens of thousands of events are planned for the 14th annual NSCW and encourages parents to learn about education options and the public to support related programs and activities. As a resolution, it does not create new programs, authorize spending, or enact policy changes.
