North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper has declared this week "North Carolina School Choice Week" for the first time since he took office in 2017. National School Choice Week began in 2011 and is marked each year by advocates for families having more options for their kids' K-12 education.
"The NC Association of Charter Schools requested this proclamation and we honored that request," Jordan Monaghan, a spokesman for Cooper's office, tells Reason. "Over the past two years, educators at all levels have responded to unprecedented challenges with grace, flexibility and determination."
