Good Morning

Another school opening celebration this week. Twelve years after Hurricane Katrina, Pierre Capdau Charter School celebrated the reopening of the Avery Alexander school building in New Orleans. http://bit.ly/2gfIGpJ

We have op-eds from AFC’s Kevin P. Chavous and John Schilling, both discussing the need to expand educational choice in light of the recent Urban Institute study:

Washington Examiner: Chavous: “School choice works — just ask the college students” http://washex.am/2fPV7rS

The Hill: Schilling: “Congress should expand school choice for America’s children” http://bit.ly/2xleiF4

With Nate approaching the Louisiana coast, please be safe this weekend. – Paul
