## Story

Israel Cordero has worked in the education sector for 25 years as a teacher, principal and superintendent. He is also currently CEO of Friends of P-Tech, which works with school districts to activate Senate Bill 1882. This bill allows nonprofit colleges and universities to partner with school districts and becomes the operating partner for schools that need to be turned around, innovated or replicated. He has worked his entire career trying to innovate in the education field- a journey that led him to Sylvan Learning, a supplemental and enrichment K–12 education brand.

Cordero owns four other Sylvan Learning locations but recognized the need for supplemental Learning in Red Oak after the pandemic created an education gap for many students. He is excited to be able to help local students excel academically.

“It is considered a best-in-class company,” said Israel Cordero, owner of Sylvan Learning in Red Oak. “Opening a center here allows us to give something back to the community. Families with kids who are behind have the resources they need to get caught up. For those kids who are already doing well in school and want to do better, we also have SAT prep as a resource.”

Sylvan Learning of Red Oak opened in April. They are now gearing up for the fall semester as students and teachers return to the classroom after the COVID-19 pandemic shifted education to online learning.
