Erika Donalds On The Power of School Choice
Erika Donalds is the founder and CEO of the Optima Foundation—its goal is the successful launch of Hillsdale College Barney Charter School Initiative classical academies and other schools of excellence across the state of Florida. She also served on the Advisory Committee on Education and Workforce Development for Florida governor Ron DeSantis. In this episode, she joins Jeremy to discuss the events that led her to question the Common Core State Standards and other top-down approaches to education, and she illustrates the benefit of classical education in her son's life, and how this revelation led her down the path to becoming a school choice advocate and facilitator.
