1/29/2018 Group Watch: School Choice Rally
Last Thursday, around 1,000 people rallied on the lawn of the Alabama Capitol, reminding parents that students have a choice outside traditional public schools. The landscape of education is changing, and many of those at the rally have been impacted by the options of school choice. Public charter schools have been a part of the conversation for improvements within the Montgomery Public School System, however Dr. Ed Richardson stated any option would be more like a conversion charter. To date, the state has not received any formal applications or letters of intent for charters in Montgomery.
