Description
What does freedom in education look like for Black and Brown families?
Victoria Andrews talks with Jay Artis-Wright, CEO of Freedom to Choose Schools, about school choice, school leadership and communities shaping their own schools. Jay explains why the organization dropped "charter schools" from its name to welcome microschools and homeschools. She also tells the story of a two-and-a-half-year push in Georgia that won bipartisan votes for fairer charter school funding.
