EdChoice will host three School Choice in America Legislator Summits in 2017. These two-day events will bring together state legislators interested in learning more about educational choice; how it works, what the research says and what it means for constituents.
School Choice in America Summits this year:
 

Deep Dive into School Choice: Program Design, Fiscal Effects, Parental Satisfaction and Public Engagement

Our Deep Dive summits will each deliver an in-depth look at high-quality educational choice programs that provide the greatest opportunity for K–12 students. Lawmakers will hear from colleagues in other states as well as nationally renowned fiscal experts who have studied taxpayer savings from diverse types of school choice programs.  Research and polling experts will present information about why parents choose a school choice program and what they’re looking for when they do. This summit also features Q&A sessions with families who currently are using school choice programs as well as best practices for successfully educating others about the issue in your state.
