It’s important to be very clear that adult charter high schools do transformational work. Research show they’re our best investment for educating adults in our state. https://t.co/YP36VHQ7BY

@chris_econ I'm a fan of my @LEOatND paper (w/ @PhillipsEcon & @rj_brough) on the @TheExcelCenter. Estimating the returns to adult high school education has helped the program expand in IN and AZ and increase program funding. https://t.co/Cdg1mrPpzk

In @EdWorkforceCmte this week: Working to improve the current skills gap and workforce shortage.

I’ve seen ways this can be done in adult education programs like @TheExcelCenter in Clarksville. It's time to invest in what works.

For the legislatively nerdy amongst you, a rare "motion to suspend the rule" was made on Thursday. Here's an explainer from Rep. Matt Pierce (D-Bloomington). Full episode: https://t.co/GHmqXzMUOz

[Patrick McAlister @mcalistp]

.@TheExcelCenter is a high school for adults. These life changing schools are opening all over the country, and they started right here in Indianapolis. 98% of graduates walk away with college credit and/or an industry certification.

It was incredible to see the great work being done by @TheExcelCenter in Clarksville and meet with some of their amazing students.

The center provides a pathway for students to complete their high school degree and beyond!
