" and "John has the vision and passion for creating a new framework for public education and teaching and learning in Maine and he has taken that vision to the next level by working tirelessly to get Baxter Academy for Science & Technology off the ground. Despite facing adversity and challenges from opponents of the charter school movement and the uncertainty involved in paving a new trail for charter schools in Maine, John has built a solid foundation for Baxter and has developed exciting new after school academic programs based on Baxter Academy's mission to offer project-based, technology-focused, integrated and interdisciplinary learning that is rooted in STEM-based education. The level of student, family and community interest that has been generated for Baxter Academy is a testament to John's vision and I am confident that this interest will continue to grow and strengthen over time. The strength and uniqueness of Baxter's mission is its collective and inclusive approach: that schools should be built in connection with local community and professional institutions and businesses, and that students use not only the school campus but the field of the greater community as their classroom. As a society we have a long way to go toward establishing powerful and sustained 21st century learning for upcoming generations of learners, but John and Baxter Academy's team of students, teachers, professionals and community members are on the path to achieving a new model of exciting and relevant learning that is so crucially needed in our current educational system."
