Dear AERO Community, It is with profound sadness and extremely heavy hearts that we share the news that Jerry Mintz, the founder of the Alternative Education Resource Organization, passed away yesterday at his home. To say Jerry was a pioneer is a vast understatement. Through his decades of tireless work in alternative education, he helped, supported, and touched many lives around the world. His work will continue on. We plan to have celebrations of life, memorials, and remembrances; we will share more information as we have it. For now, the grief is too near to say anymore, as we are devastated and heartbroken. Our thoughts are with Jerry’s family, friends, and the entire AERO community during this difficult time. With deep gratitude and sadness, Peter & the AERO Team

As has become a recurring theme, there has been little to no discussion about how the students themselves figure into this. The money from this program will go to families; what rights do the students have to access this money and use it in ways they feel benefit them the most? theeducationrevolution.subst… #federaltaxcredit #learnerdirected #educationaloptions

It's not a right if it's required and you have no choice in whether you exercise that right. #youthrights #rightsineducation
