SCHOOL CHOICE-PAC:

Freedom to choose a school   that provides the environment that you desire... not someone else's!

Freedom to choose a school   that meets your student's needs... not someone else's!

Freedom to choose a school   that meets your expectations... not someone else's!

Freedom to choose a school based upon its performance...  not where you live!

Idahoans for Choice in Education is an Idaho Political Action Committee dedicated to improving education in Idaho.  Our mission is to give parents an independent voice in education by supporting their right to choose the best education for their children.  Parental choice is the key to improving Idaho's education system.  Parents must be able to choose among public, public charter, private and home schools.
