If you have been following our Facebook and Twitter pages
closely, you are aware that AFC’s Kevin P. Chavous was a featured guest on
Monday’s PBS NewsHour. Kevin, along with National Education
Association president Dennis Van Roekel, discussed the Indiana Supreme Courtdecision upholding the state’s voucher program, along with the call to provide
low- to middle-income families with educational options.
If you happened to miss it, you are in luck! Click below to watch the full interview.
Kevin’s remarks were also the focus of a piece written by D.C. charter advocate Mark Lerner today in the Examiner in support of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship
Program. Lerner said, “I love the
urgency of Mr. Chavous' remarks. We know we are tens of thousands of high
quality education seats short in the nation's capital. So as we allow
competition to fix our public education system why don't we expand the
Opportunity Scholarship Program to assist many more than the 1,600 children
currently enrolled in the plan?”
