  • Episode 6: Cecil Brockman

    Join us for an educational and enjoyable conversation with North Carolina State Representative Cecil Brockman, a true charter champion. Rep. Brockman is a living example of a "policy maker" and not a "politician". A rare commodity at the local, state and federal level that has the capability to reach across the aisle and do what is best for his constituents. Listen how he eloquently defines parental choice, as a movement that is:

    1) Advancing

    2) Continuing steadily by increments

    3) Open to or favoring new ideas, policies, or methods; which is in fact the literal definition of "Progressive."

About Charter School Marketplace

From the publisher's feed

In addition to almost half a billion dollars in annual federal funds, education is almost without exception the largest line item in state and county budgets. Charter schools provide a critical component to the educational landscape; serving nearly four million students, employing tens of thousands of staff, and occupying billions of dollars in annual spending. Transparency is key to a successful marketplace, the Charter School Marketplace is designed to facilitate this transparency.
