National Charter Schools Week (NCSW) is just around the corner—May 5th-11th. During National Charter Schools Week, we celebrate achievements in the school house and the state house. These achievements could not have been possible without the commitment of teachers, leaders, parents and advocates from all parts of the country. Check out our toolkit for ways you can participate in NCSW!
“For me, school was about survival, not education. If I could make it through the day without getting into a fight, I had learned something. Even though I grew up in a middle class suburb, based on district zoning, I had to attend one of the low-performing high schools in my area. That was my only option…I decided to become an advocate for charter schools because I believe that a quality education should be free to everyone and not marginalize students based on zoning rules or circumstances that have no reflection on their ability to learn.” —Janel “Jay” Wright, Community Outreach Manager of the New Jersey Charter Schools association
