In Georgia, many school districts have lost students - where there are no charter schools at all. Families decided that they wanted something different (homeschooling, microschools, private schools). We have a unique opportunity to offer public schools that provide a different kind of education that families are asking for. Most charter schools in our state are centered around Atlanta, with large areas of the state (including the Atlanta region) without any charter schools. Make no mistake - we do not need charter schools for the sake of having more charter schools. We need community-responsive charter schools that meet children's needs and enhance a community's roster of public schools.

The argument from 200-plus public schools, including Columbus City, Bexley and Upper Arlington, that Ed Choice scholarships take money away from public schools is a blatant lie. And it won't happen in the future unless the members of Ohio's General Assembly are suicidal about their political futures.

It's the 3rd week of school in Tennessee and while families are settling in to the school year, it's important to note that building an effective home-shool partnership is important for your child's success. Children do their best when they have the skills, support, and motivation to do so. By collaborating with your child’s school, you increase opportunities for your child to get the support they need.

Shoutout Wieden + Kennedy for using their resources/platform to speak truth into the world and bring awareness to such an important issue - censorship & an outright agenda to erase our history. It’s powerful to be on the frontlines of activist advertising. We need more reputable brands to engage in freedom fighting and civil leadership. To stand up for what is right. WK leading the way as always!! Epitome of a brand led by strong values and principles ✊🏼📈🔥#AdMagicClassOf2023 #AdMagicAlumni

"Repost with your thoughts” Where to begin? When this year is over, will I have a story to tell. At the halfway point. I must self-gloss on the hump crossed by myself, the filmmaking team and our organization. "We", Ben Scholle , Sam Chegini , Alexander Elmore , Isaiah Mancha and I not only “locked”Denverdocsoc's second civil rights documentary film, but "we" as an org unlocked a lot of minds to the power of non-narrative cinema and media literacy. The info is below, but we directly activated 1,200 DPS students over the 2023/24 school year. Colorado is set to let loose a three year "Enrichment" grant program. I am now seeking others who want to support our efforts in making Denver as well known for documentaries as we are murals (and I love murals {may even make a narrative about 'em}). I personally oversaw all of our education last year and interacted with more than 3,400 students. DPS serves a large, amazing, Hispanic population. When we shared documentary movies with the students it was powerful testament to how story is universal. It electrified and engaged all the students across all grades and cultures. My personal take? Students in K-12 are digital dependent but not digitally challenged (nor, sadly, digitally acknowledged in the positive). Documentary combined with media literacy can be a game changer in the language arts. Please consider supporting our efforts in making a difference.

Continuing the celebration of our 10th Anniversary, this #ThrowbackThursday features an Issue Brief we published in partnership with members of our Equity Coalition titled “The Impact of LEA Status on Special Education in Charter Schools.” This brief discusses how a charter school’s legal status as part of a larger LEA or as its own independent LEA affects the autonomy, funding, and programming of the school.

Media coverage of the omission of nonpublic school children from the state's free meal program continues, this time from WOOD TV, with an important perspective that some may not know when it comes to students at these schools: “I think there’s often a misperception that non-public schools, Christian schools… are made up of only wealthy families [and] that’s just simply not the case. Twenty-five percent of our students already qualify for free or reduced lunch. Fifty percent of our families are receiving some kind of financial assistance to be here,” said the superintendent of Grand Rapids Christian, Aaron Winkle, and the same can be said in nonpublic schools in communities across the state. Plus, it should be noted: The public school children who have access to free meals under this program do so regardless of their family's income. So, rich or poor, the children in public schools are being fed. But that's not the case in nonpublic schools that would otherwise qualify, which amounts to thousands of children who miss out.
