This blog was begun to follow the progression of School Choice in the Grand Rapids area, particularly as it pertains to families as they try to get the best possible education for their children. As the situation continues to change, it is obvious that people must advocate for what they want. There is now a charter high school, (yeah!) but we can't stop striving to create better education options for our kids.

I Am Hearing the Pitter-Patter of People Leaving

Please contact JC Huizenga, Jeff Clark and NHA corporate offices to express your decisions about what you plan to do to facilitate high school for your child. Is it leaving the school earlier than 8th grade? 6th grade? 4th grade? Many people are coming to me and telling me that their plan is just to move to the district of their choice, barring a charter high school. If you are as tired as I am of riding the high school rollercoaster, then let your voice be heard, and loud. And pass it on. We want these guys to hear from us until they are sick and tired of us and get it done! Whether an NHA school or another way, nothing is going to be right here until we finish the job with a high school. Phone numbers and e-mail addresses are in the upper left corner of the page. Thank you!
