SCHOOL NEWS & NOTES School Choice Campaign Launched

(NAPSI)-A new campaign is helping families learn about education reform. Studies show that every 26 seconds, a child drops out of an American high school. Approximately 4 million kids are confined to failing or underperforming public schools. Because of these facts, more people than ever--including a higher number of African-American, Latino and Democratic voters--are supporting school choice initiatives, including school vouchers and tax credit scholarship programs. The campaign, called "School Choice Works," will inform parents across the country about how they can get involved in education issues. The campaign sponsor, the Alliance for School Choice, hopes to recruit more than 10,000 supporters of education reform over the next six months. Supporters who sign up online at www.LetParentsChoose.org will receive a free booklet, a full-color bumper sticker, and magazines. Individuals can also call (202) 280-1986 for more information. School voucher supporters launch a new campaign. People who sign up online can get a free bumper sticker.
