In a remarkable demonstration of unity, more than half of America’s governors have officially proclaimed School Choice Week this month. Thirty-one governors either have issued or will issue proclamations in honor of National School Choice Week stating that the week of Jan. 23 through Jan. 29 is officially “School Choice Week” in their respective states.
The governors are joined by approximately 400 cities or counties that have issued resolutions and proclamations in support of National School Choice Week. These span from Houston, Texas to Honolulu, Hawaii to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Additionally, the Senate has introduced a bipartisan resolution recognizing National School Choice Week 2022, to be voted on during the Week.

“With the involvement of 32 governors, and with 26,000 events going on all over the country, National School Choice Week 2022 is truly making history,” said National School Choice Week President Andrew Campanella. “We’re grateful that community leaders, educators, families, and elected officials are working together to raise awareness about educational opportunity and help more students find the right learning environment for them.
