We believe that parents know best when it comes to their child's education. At PSO, we are working to transform education across the nation, towards a bottom-up approach that enables every family to choose an education that best fits their needs. But voices are more powerful in numbers, & adding your voice to our cause could tip the scales.

Last month, our advocates went straight to Capitol Hill to tell congressional staffers what it's really like to be a public school student left out of the federal school lunch program. We're fighting to change that. 🎙️ 🥗 #itrustparents #parentsforschooloptions #schoollunch #lunchforeverylearner #nokidhungry

Last month, a mother and daughter from Florida joined PSO on Capitol Hill and shared what losing federal meal benefits really looks like for a virtual learning family. Their story, alongside policy experts and educators from across the country, was part of a PSO briefing urging Congress to rethink the congregate setting requirement that leaves virtual students behind. Advocacy met action as participants then met with bipartisan policymakers to push for real change.
