SI&A Acquires Academic Accelerator®
Now Offering Additional Products for Schools Success

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 30, 2008


Rancho Cordova, CA (April 30, 2008) — School Innovations & Advocacy, Inc (SI&A), a growing full-service firm with expertise in categorical support, attendance, special education, mandates and advocacy is proud to announce its acquisition of Academic Accelerator, LLC®. Academic Accelerator is a leader in providing tools for school improvement planning and School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs).

This new addition will allow SI&A to build upon its existing reputation of delivering solutions which ensure compliance with state requirements and customized consulting for cost-effective programs. Academic Accelerator's comprehensive web-based tool simplifies development of School Plans, state and federally mandated annual reports designed to track school performance. School planning teams utilize Academic Accelerator's online interface to analyze data, identify appropriate goals and monitor progress toward those objectives.

"SI&A's goal is to deliver solutions for all aspects of school operations," says SI&A's Chief Executive Officer Jeff Williams. "The addition of the Academic Accelerator staff will enhance our ability to positively impact student success by ensuring district preparation and simplifying the extremely complex process of School Plan development."

SI&A will integrate Academic Accelerator's School Plan development and training services into its comprehensive suite of compliance products which includes mandated cost processing and SARCs. These products save district time and resources, resulting in increased revenue, decreased costs and effective programs.

"School Plan development and implementation are tremendous tasks," says Jeri Wenger, SI&A's Executive Director of Education Consulting Services. "With the addition of the Academic Accelerator team, SI&A will now be able to offer a link between student data, essential school program components and fiscal requirements while reducing district workload by at least 50%."
