For the past several years, legislators have had many concerns about online schools and I think yesterday's Cyber Schools' Day at the Capitol was not only a huge success, but it was also a huge statement about online choice. I have the following expressions of heartfelt gratitude for the success of this important day: Thank you to... - All of the wonderful cyberschool families throughout our state for joining us yesterday.
- Kelly Weist, our Coalition manager, for coordinating our event.
- Melyssa Dominguez, Director of Elementary Family Support at COVA, for giving of her time to provide much needed organizational ideas.
- The Board members of the Colorado Coalition of Cyber School Families for your support: Colette Juniper, Vice President, Selina Myers, Secretary, and Lisa Hug, Treasurer.
- Rick Weaver, COVA dad for presenting the State Government Class, not once, but twice!
- The members of the Colorado Cyberschool Associaiton: Stephen Martin, President, and members, Kathryn Knox, COVA, Judith Stokes, Branson, Sarah Ault, Connections Academy, and Heather O'Mara, HOPE Online Academy.
