In the year since Congressman Polis was sworn in and assigned to the House Education and Labor committee, he has proven to be an extremely effective partner for reform. As the only member of Congress who has actually started his own charter school, Rep. Polis hit the ground running and emerged as a key voice in backing President Obama's school reform agenda.
 
Most noteworthy, Rep. Polis has led the way to help expand and replicate successful charter schools through the federal ALL Star act. This is the kind of pro-reform legislation that will be a game-changer once we get it passed.
 
Please join me to celebrate 40 wild and wacky years and to appropriately thank Rep. Polis for being a great friend, a valued charter champion and for his continued leadership on education reform issues.
