We’re hosting another Parent Chat! 👋
On Thursday, November 5 at 7 PM ET, the Navigate School Choice team will be live for a conversation about Open Enrollment, also known as Public School Transfer, and transportation.
We’ll talk through some of the questions families may have along the way, including how public school transfers work, what to know about lotteries and waitlists, and transportation options to consider.
Each Parent Chat is a chance for families to learn more about the school choice topics that matter to them and get practical information to help navigate their options.
Know a parent who might find this helpful? Please share it with them!

Over 25 parents filled a room to talk about school quality and better outcomes for our students in Valdosta. This is parent organizing at its core. Proud of the team that made this event happen and created space for parents to come together, speak up, and advocate for their students.

Great opportunity for parents and educators to advance their advocacy skills in a community of other changemakers.
I'm clearly biased, but the participant reviews of this fellowship are off the charts.

Congratulations to cohort 4 FIRE fellows for recently completing their fellowship!
Made up of parents from across the country, this class of fellows spent the past several months learning new ways to raise their voices on behalf of students, and to bring those new skills back to their own communities to transform education.

The SCSC is deeply saddened by the passing of Commissioner Scott Sweeney, a champion for Georgia's students and a steady, kind presence to everyone who knew & worked with him. Our hearts are with his wife, Sandy, and their family.

How important is it that our lawmakers elected this year in Georgia work to improve K-12 education in the state?
80% Extremely/Very
17% Somewhat/Not
The work is not done yet. @_GA_CAN stands ready to work with willing lawmakers to improve education for our students.
Georgia Republicans are sending a strong message: parents want the freedom to choose the best education for their children. With 89% support, it’s clear education freedom continues to be a winning issue for families and voters alike.

Moments ago, my bill HB 1030 received final passage and is on its way to the Governor's desk! This legislation will strengthen our math education across the state by expanding access to advanced math classes, increasing instructional time, and improving teacher preparation.

Great news for Georgia students!
Moments ago, the Georgia State Senate unanimously passed HB 1030, expanding access to advanced math courses for middle school students.
We thank @TucciSandy1 and @smcneel for their leadership on this legislation. The bill now moves to the Georgia House for final agreement.
