                Proclamation 10891 of January 31, 2025

                
National School Choice Week, 2025

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Throughout our Nation's history, our schools have been 
                the gateway to the American Dream, the portal to 
                American prosperity, and the foundation of the American 
                spirit. During this National School Choice Week, we 
                reaffirm our commitment to empowering American parents 
                with the freedom to choose the education that best 
                suits their values, matches their children's needs, and 
                equips their families to lead long, flourishing, and 
                fulfilling lives.

                As American citizens, one of our most righteous 
                obligations is to uplift the youngest among us, and to 
                remove the hurdles obstructing the dreams of our 
                children, our grandchildren, and generations yet 
                unborn. During my first term, our Nation made 
                tremendous progress on educational freedom. With 
                support from my Administration, dozens of States 
                enacted school choice programs that empowered millions 
                of parents and inspired children to seize their 
                futures. But there is still more work to do. As we 
                return authority over education from Washington to the 
                States, and from bureaucrats to parents, I recommit to 
                working with State and Federal lawmakers to provide 
                educational freedom for every American family.

                School choice is not only about returning freedom to 
                our classrooms, but also about common sense. Freedom in 
                education leads to higher graduation rates, increased 
                competition among schools, and improved reading and 
                math scores. School choice is also closely linked to 
                school safety, as it allows parents to play a primary 
                role in protecting their children. As we begin bringing 
                down costs for families, educational freedom proves far 
                more efficient than the outdated system we have been 
                stuck with, generating up to $23.8 billion in net 
                fiscal savings for American taxpayers.

                As President, I will never stop fighting for every 
                American child to receive the world-class education 
                they deserve. I will work tirelessly to ensure 
                America's education system harnesses and achieves its 
                full potential. Whether their education is through 
                homeschooling or charter, public, or parochial schools, 
                we will renew safety, security, and sanity in our 
                classrooms.

                This National School Choice Week, we resolve to promote 
                a Nation, a culture, and a future that empowers our 
                children, fortifies our freedom, secures our destiny, 
                and unleashes the full potential of American ingenuity 
                for many years to come. America's golden age begins in 
                the classroom, and when we rebuild the best education 
                system in the world, the future will truly be ours.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim January 26, 2025 to 
                February 1, 2025, as National School Choice Week.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

                the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
