Namine had three heart surgeries by age five. Traditional school meant bullying and constant illness. #Virtualschool saw her as a person, not a wheelchair. This June she graduated with high honors. That is why #schoolchoice matters. 👉 Her story: parentsforschooloptions.org/…

📍 Spotted: Team PSO on the ground last week in Louisiana! We joined an incredible #backtoschool event, meeting parents, administrators, and students who are choosing the learning path that works best for them. #itrustparents #schoolchoice

Texas passed a law: 6 weeks in a public school = eligible for full-time virtual school. TEA's proposed rule adds conditions the law never had, and it could strip eligibility over a funding technicality. 👉 Tell TEA to follow the law parents fought for: bit.ly/4rkkJzJ

Arkansas' Education Freedom Account program grew rapidly, serving tens of thousands of students. When the state auditor reviewed the program, they found that 99.94% of spending was clean. The .06% of errors were paperwork mishaps. Not fraud or waste. This is what happens when programs are run with integrity and oversight. Families get #schoolchoice. Taxpayers get transparency. Students get opportunity. Read More: informedchoice1996.substack.…

Shereese has a son and a nephew. Both boys struggled in traditional classrooms: one with social anxiety, the other in large crowds that made learning impossible. Virtual school gave them space to breathe, to learn, and to lean into their passions. Now, she's writing to her state legislators with one message: do not shape education policy without speaking to parents. School choice saves lives.

Dean was six years old when someone called the sheriff on him at school. He wasn't dangerous. He was drowning, and no one knew how to help. His aunt Jennifer refused to give up on him, seeing a bright kid who struggled to sit still. Enrolling him in virtual school gave him control over his environment, and Dean began to blossom. 10 years later, Dean has graduated with honors distinction. #Schoolchoice exists to give kids like Dean a real shot. bit.ly/4xaSuW1 #itrustparents
