Yesterday
morning I had the privilege to meet with Rob Staley of The Crossing. The Crossing is an amazing alternative school
program that is helping kids with behavioral or developmental challenges that
require a unique learning environment.
The Crossing is not an alternative to public education but rather comes
along side public school systems and helps meet the needs of at-risk kids while
helping the school system financially and academically. An essential part of the success of The
Crossing is its strong faith-based core values.
With
the serious challenges facing the American educational system, more
outside-the-box faith-based organizations like The Crossing will be
needed. With a little school choice
legislation, these kinds of programs could greatly expand, meeting the needs of
at-risk kids and saving tax-payer dollars.
