Charter Schools Week is a great educational opportunity, not only for students, but for parents, teachers, administrators and Colorado legislators as well. This week gives students the opportunity to learn more about the Colorado State legislative process - and for parents, teachers, administrators and legislators to learn more about, and celebrate, the choice and opportunity that charters school are providing for OUR children.
Charter Schools week will include a variety of activities including tours of the Colorado State Capitol, a rally on the steps of the Capitol, briefings by Colorado legislators and more.
