PSO parents, teachers and students came to Lansing to meet with lawmakers and advocate for full and equal funding for Michigan's online school students. #EqualFundingForAll 💪
Congratulations to @miprepschool on earning your Purple Star Designation! As one of only two Purple Star Designated schools in the state, its clear you're going above and beyond to serve Michigan's military-connected students and families.
Back at it at the #mileg once again having to work for #equalfundingforall students in Michigan. This is no time for cutting education funding for some of Michigan’s most at-risk students, and as parents, teachers and students, we will work to stop it.
Despite dropping enrollment figures for public schools, Michigan's traditional and online charter schools continue to enjoy enrollment gains. Parents are SHOWING us they want choice and options when it comes to education. #ITrustParents bridgemi.com/talent-educati…
For many students—and quite possibly yours—digital learning is more than a tool; it's a lifeline. #DLDay
Today is Digital Learning Day! Like and repost to help us celebrate! #DLDay

A wonderful op-ed from last week in support of #NationalSchoolChoiceWeek penned by @miprepschool Lead Counselor Jaimie Barksdale. Check it out! drive.google.com/file/d/1omL1AX…
"Parents’ demand for school choice continues to rise, reaching record numbers yet again." #NationalSchoolChoiceWeek readlion.com/new-normal-par…
The weather threw us a bit of a curveball, but it wasn't enough to stop a great event! So great to see and meet so many families and school choice supporters at today's #NationalSchoolChoiceWeek celebration at the State Capitol!
"School choice is an issue and a cause that brings people of different backgrounds and ideologies together to ensure that every child in America has access to a quality education." That's something to celebrate this week during #NationalSchoolChoiceWeek thehill.com/opinion/educat…

Amy Dunlap, a member of PSO's National Task Force, shares her favorite moments with @PSOMichigan this year, including fighting for equity in #education and presenting State Rep. @jaimegreene65 with a Golden Apple Award. #ITrustParents #SchoolChoice #ParentPower #educationEquity
Love it any time we see a story about online charter school students doing amazing things. finance.yahoo.com/news/14-old-an…
There's a lot to love about online school but it's clear the amazing teachers and support staff are second to none.
Awesome to meet and chat with some of our champion lawmakers! Thank you State Rep. @jaimegreene65 State Rep. Luke Meerman and @SenAricNesbitt for standing up and fighting to protect equal funding for all students and their access to educational options best for them!
Last week we shared our favorite statistic from our recent survey, so this week we'll share our least favorite. This number is way too high. Bullying is a serious problem and it's clear that far too many children are forced to contend with it.

I will be forever grateful that @AngelaMIHouse fought for all kids! I know we have a long ways to go for equity in education but this was certainly a step in the right direction. When I thanked the Rep for keeping her word she told it was all she had. I said yes but not all would
Today I was able to thank Rep. @AngelaMIHouse for keeping her word that public cyber schools would not receive the 20% per pupil funding reduction proposed by @GovWhitmer. I know that wasn’t the popular thing to do in the current majority but she fought for kids!
