Good Morning

Unlike Louisiana, the new school year is getting underway across the nation. I will be sharing in this space AFC Blog stories celebrating the 50 school choice programs in 25 states plus the District of Columbia, as well as the millions of children enrolled in charter schools across the country.

Check out We The Internet’s answer to John Oliver’s anti-charter school rant.

Enjoy your day! – Paul
