National School Choice Week Kickoff Event and Whistle-Stop Tour Launch Event Available for Satellite Downlink
PHOENIX–()–National School Choice Week 2013 kicks off today with the nation’s
largest-ever school choice event and the launch of an historic,
cross-country whistle-stop train tour designed to generate increased
public support for education reform.
National School Choice Week (which runs until Feb. 2), will feature
3,500 events across all 50 states. Participants in National School
Choice Week believe that parents should be empowered to select the best
educational environments for their children — whether the schools are
traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools,
private schools, online learning or homeschooling.
Many broadcast outlets are covering National School Choice Week and may
be interested in footage from these events, which can provide B-Roll for
locally-focused stories. Broadcast outlets that wish to do live cutaways
to either the official kickoff celebration in Phoenix, Arizona, or the
official launch of the National School Choice Week ‘Special’ whistle
stop tour, can downlink from the following coordinates:
