After serving his country as an Army Ranger, high school principal Josiah Rollins quits in disgust over the broken educational system he can no longer serve. Little does he know this impulsive act would lead him to an unbelievable opportunity to change everything and serve his country and students in the way he had always dreamed. Inspired and funded by a now billionaire war buddy, Josiah tests his educational theories in a place with low standards and poor student performance: the American Caribbean Islands.
The mission is simple: give teachers autonomy and freedom to teach and provide the community the power to make schools the center of their community. But many on the Island are not happy about the project, nor do they trust the white man selling them new ideas. Within Blank Check, learn how Josiah wins over the people and the students, transforming the community and the economy into the American Dream.

Blank Check is a captivating, fast-paced, fictional presentation of a concept for remodeling an educational system where the author’s holistic ideas show how to ‘replace and promote’ an alternative educational system. Considerable thought and related research has been applied to the concept, which provides the reader with a positive first-steps approach. A great read!“

What teacher, administrator, even parent, doesn’t sometimes imagine how they would reshape the system if money were no object and bureaucracy wasn’t an issue? Blank Check, while fictitious, makes you wonder, ‘what if?’ and begins the conversation that is long overdue.
