4th Week of PhillySchoolChoice.com Campaign; Ads 7 & 8 discuss staying in Philly because of charter school opportunities and the need for tax credit scholarships
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Choice Media has unveiled ads 7 and 8 in the 4th week of the PhillySchoolChoice.com campaign. PhillySchoolChoice.com is the new activist campaign around which thousands of parents have coalesced to support additional options in public schools. These parents are celebrating a major breakthrough to expand charter schools. Politicians across Pennsylvania have been put on notice and the school choice imperative is clear. The State Legislature just recently passed a cigarette tax to expand charter school funding.
The ads, which will air on all four networks in the Philadelphia market, feature local parents explaining that they would leave Philadelphia if a charter school wasn't available for their children. Another ad dispels the myth about tax credit scholarships undermining public schools.

David Hardy, spokesman for PhillySchoolChoice.com, added, "People may like living in Philadelphia, but they want the best for their kids and there just aren't enough alternatives to traditional public schools. If more charter schools are authorized it could reverse the exodus of professional families."
"Politicians should keep in mind that taxpayers can vote with their feet. If a parent doesn't think they are getting their money's worth from a public school, they can't get their child into a good charter school or they can't access a tax credit scholarship, they may simply move and further shrink the Philadelphia tax base," said Bob Bowdon, Executive Director of Choice Media and producer of the ads.
The PhillySchoolChoice.com campaign has gained the support of thousands of Philadelphia parents who want to learn more about moving their children into charter schools or accessing the tax credit scholarships. The ads have been cited in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Public Record, Politico and the Wall Street Journal.
