SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Andrew Campanella, President of the National School Choice Week, has requested that the City of McCall consider joining city and county leaders across the country in officially recognizing
January 22-28, 2017 as School Choice Week in McCall.
Mr. Campanella states that issuing a proclamation provides an opportunity to shine a positive spotlight on the K-12 education options available for children and families in McCall. Last
year, more than 240 mayors and county leaders, along with 33 governors and the unanimous United States Senate, issued proclamations recognizing National School Choice Week, which in
2017 will feature more than 20,000 events across America.
National School Choice Week is entirely nonpolitical and nonpartisan, and does not advocate for or against any legislation. Their goal is simply to raise awareness, among parents, of
the K-12 education options available to their children.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Proclamation recognizing January 22-28, 2017 as McCall School Choice Week and call this observance to the attention of all of our citizens, and authorize the Mayor to sign
the proclamation.
