Dominick F. Banks, CEO & President, has over 15 years in the Information Technology industry. As a Microsoft Certified Developer, his experience consist of analyzing, designing & converting well over 300 desk top and web-based applications for companies like Verizon, Lockheed Martin & Social Security Administration to name a few. Mr. Banks has also had the privilege of being an Instructor at the USDA Graduate School, training & assisting government employees.

Mr. Banks, along with his team of experienced current & former public school teachers, administrators, psychologists & youth counselors for challenged youths, believes that every child should be given every opportunity to excel in academics.

In the spirit of the "No Child Left Behind" Act, EducAid Technology recognizes that the federal government has spent more than $321 billion in 2002 to help educate disadvantaged children. Even though much has been invested, only 32% of fourth graders can read skillfully at grade level. The remaining 68% who can't read well consist mostly of minority children & those who live in poverty.

The 4 PILLARS OF NCLB include:

• Stronger Accountability for Results

• More Choices for Parents

• Proven Education Methods

• More Freedom for States & Communities

Research shows that there are positive results when parents are involved in academic achievement. Parents are encouraged to help their child's school by volunteering to serve when needed, motivate other parents to get involved, attend parent-teacher meetings or other meetings that address challenges the school may face academically, and also learn about & take advantage of community resources to assist in the educational process of the children. EducAid Technology understands that busy parents of today need effective solutions to bridge the gap between their busy schedules & additional, private academic assistance to achieve the goal of "Academic Excellence" for their children.
