Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council considers approving a Resolution Proclaiming January 21-27, 2018 as School Choice Week in Northfield.
Summary Report:
January 21-27, 2018 is National School Choice Week. Issuing a proclamation provides an opportunity to shine a positive spotlight on the K-12 education options available for children and families in the City of Northfield.
National School Choice Week is nonpolitical and nonpartisan, and does not advocate for or against any legislation. The goal is simply to raise awareness, among parents, of the public and nonpublic K-12 education options available to children.
Last year, more than 684 mayors and county leaders, along with 30 governors, the unanimous United States Senate, and the President, issued proclamations recognizing National School Choice Week, which in 2018 will feature more than 32,000 events across America.
Alternative Options:
None recommended.
Financial Impacts:
Not applicable.
Tentative Timelines:
None.
