Rio Grande Foundation president Paul Gessing, a founding board member of the New Mexico Connections Academy virtual charter school and president of the Rio Grande Foundation, an organization dedicated to increased educational options for New Mexico students, expressed support for the decision saying:

Secretary-designate Skandera has taken an important step on behalf of New Mexico’s children by approving this charter school, the state’s 2nd virtual charter school.
