About BAEO
Our Mission
To actively support parental choice to empower families and increase quality educational options for Black children.
We exist to…
- Educate and inform the general public about parental choice initiatives on the local and national level
- Educate Black families about the numerous educational options available
- Create, promote and support efforts to empower Black parents to exercise choice in determining how their children are educated
- Educate and inform the general public about efforts to reduce or limit educational options available to parents
Parental 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.
