| What is My School, My Choice? We are an umbrella coalition made up of parents, teachers, public charter schools, public e-schools, choice advocacy groups, families and education leaders who care about the rights of all Ohio children and their families to choose the best school to meet their individual needs. We exist to give them a voice at the local, regional and state levels. What We Believe Supporters of My School, My Choice share a common understanding and commitment to our three principles of choice regarding public education: - No child should be forced to attend a failing public school.
- All children should have the opportunity to attend a high-quality school in which they excel and grow, where learning is combined with personal attention for students and parents, and where education is tailored to meet students' individual needs.
- Traditional public schools are important, but are not the only approach to public education.
Our Goal My School, My Choice was active in 2007 when Governor Strickland attempted to eliminate key elements of school choice. The coalition will continue to be active, communicating ideas to Governor Strickland and state legislators and advocating for school choice. We want not only to protect school choice in Ohio, but to advance it so that every child gets the best education possible. My School, My Choice is a project of the Fund for Ohio's Future.
