Kansas School Choice Rally in Topeka
On January 27, 2026, a significant event is set to take place at the Kansas State Capitol in Topeka, where hundreds of students, parents, and teachers will gather to voice their support for school choice. This rally aligns with the National School Choice Week, a campaign that aims to promote awareness about diverse educational options available for families across America.
The rally will occur from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the Rotunda on the second floor of the Capitol located at 201 SW 8th Ave, Topeka, KS. This gathering is organized by a coalition of parents, educators, and advocates committed to highlighting the transformative power of school choice for Kansas families.
James Franco, the President of Kansas Policy Institute, emphasized the growing interest in educational options, stating, “Our coalition and events keep growing year after year. More Kansans want the right educational fit for their family and are clamoring for the educational freedom to realize it.” This year’s rally promises to be a powerful demonstration of community support for school choice as attendees will have the opportunity to hear from legislators who will share personal stories on how educational choices have positively impacted their lives and communities.
National School Choice Week takes place from January 25 to 31, featuring approximately 28,000 events across the nation. The initiative embodies a commitment to empowering parents to find educational environments that suit their children's unique learning needs, thereby fostering a culture of informed and confident decision-making regarding education.
The National School Choice Awareness Foundation, a non-profit organization behind this initiative, advocates for K–12 school choices, guiding parents through the process of selecting schools that fulfill their children’s educational requirements. Through programs like National School Choice Week, Navigate School Choice, and Conoce tus Opciones Escolares, the foundation raises awareness about a variety of schooling options including public, charter, private, online, and homeschooling facilities. Importantly, the NSCAF operates as a non-political entity focused solely on enhancing parental choice in education rather than pushing for or against specific legislative measures.
