Charter Champions hosts turkey giveaway

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Charter Champions hosted a turkey giveaway Saturday afternoon to more than 150 families to enjoy this Thanksgiving. The organization, led by CEO Dr. Paul Miller, hosted the giveaway to support students and their families. The turkeys were given away on a first-come, first-served basis.

Charter Champions' mission is to provide resources and support to charter school families, who often lack the resources available in traditional school districts.

Dr. Paul Miller is an advocate for educational equity and the CEO of Charter Champions, and sees the turkey giveaway as a way to relieve some of the financial strain on families so they can focus on spending their Thanksgivings celebrating connecting with loved ones.

"Thanksgiving is a time for unity, and every family deserves to gather without feeling the financial strain," Dr. Miller said. "Our charter school families may not have access to the same resources as other districts, but we're committed to supporting them both academically and beyond."

When Massachusetts voters decided to ditch the state's standardized tests as a high school graduation requirement on Election Day, they joined a trend that has steadily chipped away at the use of high-stakes tests over the past two decades. The vote on the ballot question leaves only seven states with mandated graduation exams, a number that could soon shrink further. A backlash to standardized tests has been fueled by complaints they take up too much classroom time and questions about how well they measure readiness for college or careers.
