INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Governor Eric Holcomb will join state legislators and students for a breakfast celebrating Indiana's K-12 educational choices on Wednesday, Jan. 29. One of Indiana's most prominent events during School Choice Week, the Quality Education Celebration will take place 7:30-9 a.m. at the Conrad Hotel.

Besides giving policymakers, parents, and students a unique opportunity to discuss how educational choice has impacted them, the breakfast will reveal the winning submissions to a school choice video contest hosted by the Institute of Quality Education.

"We look forward to our Quality Education Celebration each year during National School Choice Week as it brings together state lawmakers, students, parents and educators from all over Indiana and all types of schools to hear firsthand the positive impact that Indiana's robust and diverse school choice environment is having on tens of thousands of Hoosier students," said Betsy Wiley, president of Institute for Quality Education. "Today, we share directly with policymakers the importance of strengthening our educational choice policies and programs."

The legislative breakfast is organized by the Institute for Quality Education, an organization that seeks to improve the quality of education for all Indiana students.

The Conrad Hotel is located at 50 W. Washington St.
