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.

Media event coming

We are working on a media event with a local city commission candidate and there will be more info as soon as we have a date. We are targeting this to take place in the next few weeks for sure. We will need parents to attend this to show support for getting the word out that change is necessary. There are lots of parents who are desperate for options & change in relation to quality education in a safe atmosphere in Grand Rapids. Call those you know who will want to be in on this, and rally. More to come.

Way back in May, we had a large meeting with parents and a representative from HCA. During the portion of the meeting that I was present for the representative indicated that they(NHA) wanted to take the lead in looking for a Charter High School. The rep from NHA also said that they had several things in the pipeline at various stages, and that they didn't really want parent involvement at that time. The rep did commit to keeping parents posted to there progress. Has anyone heard from NHA?
