As National School Choice Week wraps up, we celebrate every K–12 option that gives families real opportunity, including traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, online learning, and homeschooling. Parents know their children best, and families deserve the freedom to choose what works.
After 18 years working in New Jersey public charter schools as an advocate, teacher, principal, and district administrator, I know firsthand that public charters are an outstanding option for NJ students.
