League Responds to Push for Vouchers
Florida Tax Credit Vouchers are a drain on our educational system and do nothing to solve academic problems. More and more they are beginning to look like pandering to political groups. See the League’s response to calls for ending the lawsuit opposing the vouchers. Protecting public schools and pushing for needed support is the way to solve inequities in education.
Pinellas to shut down 3 charters
Yes, more fraud, waste and abuse that Florida must address. The Pinellas School Board voted to shut down three NewPoint charter schools today. Windsor Prep, East Windsor and NewPoint Pinellas are all involved in an indictment for fraud. Read the Tampa Bay Times editorial. The editor calls for an investigation of two other NewPoint related schools which also appear to be involved in self dealing with tax payer money.
The same charter management company is indicted in Pensacola for grand theft, money laundering and white collar crimes.
A Charter School Sues Itself?
Have you ever known something did not smell right, but you could not find the source? A court in Missouri found it.
In Renaissance Academy for Math and Science vs. Imagine Schools, the court ruled there was hidden self dealing. The judge fined Imagine Schools one million dollars. This was just one school in trouble in St. Louis, Missouri at the time. Thirty-five hundred children had to be relocated when all Imagine charters were forced to close in St. Louis.
We all need to know how this can happen. It is not unusual.
