Newpoint Giving Up...Or Are They?

So, according to WFLA Newpoint Education Partners has announced that   " it is quitting and handing over all management to a nonprofit organization “in the best interest of the students, parents and the schools.” "




What an interesting development. I am especially intrigued by Mr Douglas reporting that Newpoint Education Partners "has been acquired" by Alliance Education Services, Inc. I wonder how that works..a for profit being taken over by a non profit. Hmmmm...





To cite the article: The nonprofit company taking over Newpoint’s charter schools, Alliance Education Services Inc., was formed by Jennifer Lucas and Justin Matthews in 2013 and is currently operated by Jonathan Simon, Victor Rebman and Christy Bryans in Sarasota, according to state records."
 Rebman was formerly associated with Imagine Schools in Northport, a charter school management company that has been the focus of financial controversy in the past. Jennifer Lucas, one of the Alliance leaders scheduled to meet with parents Friday, was formerly employed by an Imagine charter school in Manatee County. Justin Mathews, another Alliance leader scheduled to meet with parents at Windsor Prep, was also formerly employed by an Imagine school in Northport and later became entangled in a lawsuit with Imagine."

Now...funny enough, Newpoint/Windsor originally hired Jessica Clements as the Principal of Windsor Prep and East Windsor. Previously she had worked for Imagine Schools

It all just seems a little cozy, now doesn't it? And consider too...Newpoint Education Partners is all about the money, the moolah, the all mighty cashola. Do you really think this is all on the up and up? These guys are masters at the game after all.
Now I know that there are so many who will condemn and criticize me for saying that, but who was 100% correct in everything they said about this school/dirty operation all along?

That's Right...This Humble Blogger. 
Here's a link to the new company Alliance Education Services, Inc. It's a pretty slick site, and they look good on paper...but then so do Newpoint.
