Lt. Gov. Duncan Visits Atlanta Students To Commemorate National School Choice Week

To commemorate National School Choice Week, Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan visited Atlanta Youth Academy on Wednesday.

The private school in southeast Atlanta serves 150 students in pre-K through eighth grade. The majority of students are from low-income homes, but Peter Rooney, the school’s principal, says everyone contributes.

“Every family here pays tuition,” Rooney said. “Our median income is about $23,000 a year, and every family is paying about $160 a month.”
