County Board Declines to Support National Schools Choice Week

“The National School Choice Week website’s Partners page provides a who’s-who gallery of (Koch Industries CEO Charles) Koch network groups, corporations and billionaires promoting privatization,” said Lisa Graves, The Center for Media and Democracy Executive Director in a press release. “Although the week features many local events, it is backed by national entities, some of which are hostile to the idea of public schools and whose goals have included full privatization.”
