Where We Stand Today


What happened to us is bigger than a school; it was the hijacking of an entire organization.

 

Education Explosion, Inc., the founding nonprofit behind Impact Charter School, was stripped of its leadership and legally elected board through political maneuvering and targeted attacks. This hostile takeover occurred despite our clean audits, B-rated academic performance, and national recognition for excellence.

 

Our school did not fail. Our leadership did not fail. Yet, our entire governance structure, the very people who built and sustained the school for over a decade, was removed without cause. The organization we founded and led with integrity was effectively taken from us.

 

We are now pursuing justice through the federal courts, seeking not only accountability but the full restoration of Education Explosion’s leadership and rightful control.

 

This is not just about Impact Charter. This is about protecting grassroots, community-led organizations from being erased by political agendas. And it’s about fighting back when systems attempt to silence those who lead with truth.

 

We will not stop until justice is served, and Education Explosion, Inc. and its rightful leadership are returned to the community it was created to serve.

Education Explosion, Inc. was established in Baton Rouge, Louisiana as a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization in 2009. Our diverse instructional staff collectively has over 200 years of teaching experience with a remarkable array of certifications.

We are committed to ensuring that students are provided with solid reading and math skills that will allow them to be successful at every grade level and in their everyday lives.

Since 2009, we have provided intervention, enrichment, tutoring and supplemental educational services in Reading, English Language Arts and Mathematics to elementary school children in East Baton Rouge Parish and surrounding parishes.

Education Explosion, Inc. is also the operator for Impact Charter School. Impact Charter School began as a Core Knowledge School, serving grades K-3 during its first year in 2014, and expanded to serve grades PK-8 over its decade-long tenure. The mission of Impact Charter was to provide a rigorous education for all students in a safe, supportive, and challenging learning environment.

Impact Charter School was the first of its kind in Baker, and upheld a positive and unique school culture that empowered students to reach their highest potential in order to close the achievement gaps.

Our committed and caring staff receives fulfillment from working to achieve our mission to make a difference in children's lives.
