HONOLULU--National School Choice Week begins today in Hawaii and across the country. There are 79 events planned in the Aloha State to raise awareness about K-12 school choice, and 21,392 events nationwide.

The events in Hawaii, which are independently planned and independently funded, include everything from information sessions and open houses at schools to rallies, policy discussions, and movie screenings organized by community groups. Highlighted events include a large celebration of school choice January 24 at the Hawai'i State Capitol.

The city of Maui has issued an official proclamation recognizing January 22-28, 2017 as “School Choice Week.”

National School Choice Week provides families in Hawaii with the opportunity to research and evaluate the K-12 school choices available for their children in advance of the 2017-2018 school year. The Week also raises awareness of the importance of providing every child with effective education options.

"National School Choice Week is an opportunity to celebrate the education options available to Hawaii families, while shining a bright spotlight on the importance of providing even greater options for children," said Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week.

With a goal of raising public awareness of effective education options for children, National School Choice Week will be the largest celebration of education options in US history.

In some parts of the state, open enrollment policies allow parents to select the best traditional public school, regardless of where the school is located.
