School choice is widespread in America – unless you are poor.

Affluent families have choice because they can move to different neighborhoods or communities, send their children to private schools or supplement schooling with tutors and enrichment programs. Lower-income and working-class families, meanwhile, are typically trapped with one option – a school in need of improvement.

BAEO is committed to expanding the Educational Options available to all families, regardless of income, but our focus is on helping low-income and working-class black families.

BAEO supports the options listed to the left.
