The Symposium represents a safe space for parental choice advocates to be informed, inspired and empowered to champion parental choice in their local community. By the year 2010, we plan to bring over 2,000 Black leaders to this revolutionary event.

Project Clarion is an outreach campaign designed to give parents facts about the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and help them to exercise their rights in select cities with BAEO chapters. These cities have a high number of low-income black families in at-risk communities with children in schools identified as in need of improvement by State Education Agencies.

The Black Alliance for Educational Options (BAEO) is a national, nonprofit, membership organization dedicated to raising awareness about the need for and value of quality educational options for African-American and low-income families.

Parents in a growing number of cities and states have access to privately financed programs that support school choice by offering students partial scholarships.
