Do I want my child to be bilingual? 

Will the school across the street be best option for my child if he has a physical or learning disability? 

What if my child excels in the arts, STEM or a trade? Perhaps a school dedicated to that particular craft would be the best route for him.

I also know I am not alone. Other parents across America want what’s best for the unique children they are working hard to raise.

That’s something I’m celebrating this week, which is National School Choice Week.
