Policy Focus: Putting Parents in Control of Their Children’s Education

Ginny Gentles joins the podcast to discuss this month’s policy focus: Putting Parents in Control of Their Children’s Education. We discuss why school districts abandoned their educational mission during the pandemic, how parents are engaging in local school board elections, and detail what some states are doing to expand educational options. Ginny Gentles is a long-time school choice advocate and former state and federal education policy leader. As founder of School Choice Solutions, LLC, she helps organizations with policy analysis and development. Ginny previously served as a senior political appointee in the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Innovation and Improvement under President George W. Bush, and she led the Florida Department of Education’s Office of Independent Education and Parental Choice.--She Thinks is a podcast for women (and men) who are sick of the spin in today’s news cycle and are seeking the truth.
