What a beautiful account shared by Mona Gayle Timko about working with Franklin Burns. QuickSchools is a fully-online school management system. 

My name is Mona Timko and I’m 77 years old.  I have been in the teaching field for over fifty years and I have had the pleasure of working with Franklin when he started the school.  I have been depressed since retiring from the Cyfair school district and I could not make myself happy.  I wanted to be wanted again.  I missed the fame of being an extremely important teacher in my former school district.  I was talking to a lady and she knew that Frank needed some help in starting a school.  She placed me in contact and I called him immediately.  Frank was very open in me coming to the school and creating a role for me.  Read More »

This is an article from Ms. Tam Vo, a parent at Saint Tower Academy sharing a beautiful story on how Mr Burns helped Han, her daughter. You rock Mr Burns! QuickSchools is a fully-online school management system.

Mr. Franklin Burns and his knowledge in special education helped out my daughter, Han. When we first moved here from Vietnam, my daughter who 10 years old and was in a special behavior class. The ARD committee was not answering my questions. We looked at Mr. Burns’ school, Saint Tower Academy, but it was too unstructured for her at the time as Mr. Burns too the time to explain to use why his school would not be the ideal place for her at the time. We asked Mr. Burns to review her IEPs from the campus and explained to us the type of program she needed. He attended the next ARD meeting with us as we were still scared for the safety of our daughter and we were not informed on how the campus was going to handle Han not speaking any English at all.Read More »
