Expanding the “School Choice Menu”

One of the attendees on this tour was David Mitchell, the CEO and president of Better Outcomes for Our Kids (BOOK). His organization’s purpose is to give families all the options on the “school choice menu” so they can make the most informed decision for their student’s specific needs. Black Microschools ATL is also trying to add to the menu by bringing awareness of different educational options available to families. Families should consider these models as viable and impactful alternatives and remember that they have the right to take charge of their child’s education because they know best.
