07-30-14 AFC Daily News Clips – morning edition

Good morning:

For those of you in D.C. this is what summer is supposed to feel like, low humidity and great temperatures! Last night, we hosted a parent information event with the Indianapolis Urban League, we’re grateful to have such strong partners in the Hoosier State! Finally, as you prepare to do your own back to school shopping – if you shop on Amazon – we would appreciate it if you linked to our Amazon Smile account – where a small proceed of sales are used to support the Alliance for School Choice’s mission.
Have a great Wednesday
Matt
