Proclamation 10137

National School Choice Week, 2021

This proclamation declares January 24-30, 2021 as National School Choice Week. It contains policy advocacy calling on Congress to pass two school choice bills (Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act, and School Choice Now Act) and references a prior executive order on educational opportunity, but the proclamation itself establishes no binding policy, mandates, or regulatory changes.

Risks & tensions

  • Proclamation blurs ceremonial and policy-advocacy lines by urging specific congressional legislation; however, no binding directive issued
  • Reference to 'recently issued' executive order on school choice lacks specific EO number in text
  • Language framing school choice as 'civil rights issue' and 'zip code' determinism is politically contested framing
