GHR Connects with Friedman Foundation and Other Educational Choice Advocates

GHR recently hosted a series of convenings in conjunction with the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, a private foundation working to advance a system of K-12 education in which all parents are free to choose the learning environment best for their children. GHR invited Friedman representatives to meet with Minnesota’s experts on school choice, as well as education funders and philanthropists.

Friedman Foundation facilitated discussions on expanding public funding to non-public schools as a way to mitigate the achievement gap, and shared research showing similar educational choice efforts improving academic outcomes for children while lowering state education costs. There were also discussions on expanding Minnesota’s new early childhood education scholarships to K-12 education, and what would be required to pass a school choice bill.

These convenings marked a first step in aligning priorities among educational choice supporters, which relates closely to GHR’s Catholic Schools Initiative. At the meetings, GHR staff shared the initiative’s strategy, highlighting a desire to increase Catholic school funding and discussing GHR’s funding of assessment preparation and testing to drive quality and attract new funding sources.
