Anna interviews Shelby Doyle, Vice President for Public Awareness with the National School Choice Awareness Foundation.  They discuss how the choice of schools works in TN and the options that are available to help parents match their children with schools that fit their goals and talents.  They go over the list of education options currently available, including district schools, public, charter, private, magnet, and online learning. They also touch on efforts to reach the Hispanic community with information on their options.

National School Choice Week will celebrate its 15th anniversary, and 3 school and community events are scheduled across Nashville to highlight the educational opportunities available to children, through School Choice.

From January 26 to February 1, 2025,  the spotlight shines on the remarkable expansion of educational options across the country, including options such as open enrollment in district schools, public charter schools, private schools, magnet schools, online learning, homeschooling, and micro-schooling.  Get more information about education options in your area at https://schoolchoiceweek.com/event-near-me/.
