A local lawmaker is raising awareness about alternative educational opportunities.
U.S. Congressman Mike Kelly is one of 36 co-sponsors of House Resolution 63 which recognizes this week as National School Choice Week.
National School Choice Week began in 2011 to spotlight effective education options from traditional public schools to charter schools, magnet schools, online academies and private schools.
Kelly previously served on the Butler Area School Board and has supported legislation to expand educational opportunities for children.
