To celebrate the "School Choice" movement, New York City Council Member Andy King spoke at the kickoff of National School Choice Week (NSCW) event taking place on Tuesday, January 22, 10 a.m. at the Williamsbridge NAACP Early Childhood Education Center, 680 East 219th St., Bronx.
Started in 2011, NSCW has grown into the world’s largest celebration of opportunity in education. The Week is a nonpartisan, nonpolitical public awareness effort. We welcome all Americans to get involved and to have their voices heard!
