Here's something you don't see every day: The Mayor of Austin in support of School Choice -- trademark yellow scarf and all! He is pictured above presenting an official proclamation of School Choice Week to organizers of the Texas School Choice Week Rally.
Be it vouchers, expanded charters, easier in-district and out-of-district transfers, parental triggers, additional freedoms for home schoolers, etc., School Choice Week is a national initiative to promote the benefits of a variety of plans designed to increase parental control over how their children are educated.
The rally is taking place on the South Steps of the Texas Capitol as this post is being written, so ... excuse this writer while he puts on his scarf and gets back to the crowd!
By the way, this Saturday Americans for Prosperity-Texas is hosting a School Choice Day of Action in San Marcos. Volunteers will be going door to door, talking with constituents about school choice. Breakfast, coffee, and lunch will be provided, and free swag has been promised. Meet up at 9:30 a.m at Wake the Dead Coffee House, 1432 Old Ranch Rd 12, San Marcos.
