Community to Gather for Orange County School Choice Fair
SANTA ANA, Calif., Jan. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hundreds of educators and community members will gather at the fourth annual Orange County School Choice Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26.
The family-friendly event will feature raffles, music, food and a student performance of the official National School Choice Week dance. Representatives from district schools, public charter schools, homeschool programs, and online learning partners will have informational tables at the event, which will take place at the Salvation Army's Santa Ana Temple.
This event is planned to coincide with the history-making celebration of National School Choice Week 2019, which will feature more than 40,000 school choice events across all 50 states.
"School choice is all about giving parents access to the best education options for their children," said Cecilia Iglesias, president of the Orange County Parent Union. "Our annual fair is a forum for local school districts, public charter schools, and other educational partners to talk with students and parents about their options."
The event is sponsored by the California Policy Center, an educational non-profit focused on public policies that aim to improve California's democracy and economy.
The Santa Ana Temple is located at 1710 W. Edinger Ave.
As a nonpartisan, nonpolitical public awareness effort, National School Choice Week shines a positive spotlight on effective education options for students, families, and communities around the country. From January 20 through 26, 2019, more than 40,000 independently-planned events will be held in celebration of the Week. For more information, visit www.schoolchoiceweek.com.
