A message from our Executive Director:

Yesterday's visit with Congresswoman Titus went very well. She was quite impressed with our educational style and spoke with a few of our students and two EKA graduates that happened to be on campus. After speaking with one student who was working on a nutrition project, the Congresswoman promised to send the student information on her new wellness bill. I received that information today and it was forwarded to the student's advisor. We spoke about the re-authorization of No Child Left Behind and the issues charter schools face as far as funding, testing and teacher certifications. We have invited her back to visit again to listen to some student presentations of learning. Hopefully, she will take us up on our offer.

I wanted to thank all the students at the Secondary campus for their manners and thoughtful questions. Though the Congresswoman's visit was short, I believe she saw the exceptional way Explore Knowledge Academy educates students, and it gave her some insight into charter schools that she did not have prior.
