By: | Tags: , , , | Comments: 0

[Posted November 27, 2014] Out of change comes opportunity.

By: | Tags: , , | Comments: 0

All of us are aware of the difficulties facing students and teachers in public schools today. The media is filled with data about decreases in funding for education and state and national budget issues. It is abundantly clear that public education needs private philanthropic support if it is to compete successfully with the growing number of private institutions and to cope with the challenges of diminished State support.
