Three Connections Academy Schools/School Choice/Student Engagement
Show Notes

Parents, students, educators, and education stakeholders across the country recently celebrated National School Choice Week. While the term is self-explanatory, School Choice is the process of affording parents and caregivers the opportunity to choose the K-12 academic environment that best meets their child’s needs.  At Lesic and Camper, we have the privilege to work with five Connections Academy schools in Ohio, Minnesota, and Missouri. Connections Academy is a tuition-free, online public school for students in grades K–12. We invited Marie Hanna, Superintendent of Ohio Connections Academy, Anne Wasmund, Principal of Falcon View Connections Academy in Minnesota and Lynsie Hunt, School Leader at Missouri Connections Academy to have a brief conversation about school choice and what that represents in their respective states.
