| FORM 990-EZ, PART III, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | NOTE REGARDING THE HWARANG GLOBAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM | DUE TO A RISE IN TENSIONS IN NORTH KOREA EARLIER THIS YEAR, CONCERNS WERE RAISED BY PARENTS, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION, AND OUR BOARD MEMBERS REGARDING THE FEASIBILITY OF STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM. THEREFORE, A-KEEP DECIDED IT BEST TO AVOID THE RISK INVOLVED IN TAKING STUDENTS FROM ALABAMA TO SOUTH KOREA. AS A RESULT, THE HWARANG GLOBAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM WAS NOT INCLUDED AS A PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR COVERED BY THIS FORM. IT IS STILL CONSIDERED A MAJOR PROGRAM OF A-KEEP AND IS EXPECTED TO RESUME IN JUNE 2014. |
