There is an excellent article this morning...one that I was waiting for.

Let The Games Begin

First meeting cancelled rescheduled...cause suddenly the kids education matters..... TAMPA BAY TIMES

ONE MILLION $$$ IN Debt And Counting

Oh dear readers...the "Last Grade Earned Was An F, but now the State granted them a C " school Windsor Prep never lets us down, now do they.

So...lets check out this interesting story regarding the latest investigation into Newpoint Education and Windsor Prep.  It's comedy gold folks!

Makes You Wonder

So, Newpoint Education Partners...so many questionable dealings...grade tampering, Illegal allocation of equipment, mishandling of funds, poor management and oversight, multiple schools under their management with failing grades, staff resigning left and right, not meeting target enrollment, State and County investigations, and more.

Always something with Newpoint Education Partners...and always someone else's fault. Ha

What are they trying to hide? Seriously?! Not even defending your company practices, or offering a legitimate accounting of how you spent PUBLIC FUNDS!!!! And how many parents who have their kids enrolled at this school (for lack of a better term) will continue to defend them?

" Charter school payback: Newpoint Education Partners is repaying $75,000 in federal grant money that went to the East Windsor Middle Academy in St. Petersburg rather than account for how the money was spent. The company, which owns and operates five charter schools in Pinellas County, sent the check to the school district. It said its former accounting firm had not followed the necessary documentation procedures allowing it to be eligible for the grant."

Bu all jokes aside, lets get serious for a minute

Another Satisfied (former) Employee?

Seems a few updates are needed....

Charter Schools Capital sues Newpoint Education Partners: www.pnj.com

NewPoint used Bay County funds in Pensacola Schools: www.newsherald.com
"...Newpoint was cited June 16 for violating Department of Education rules. An investigation by Adam Emerson, charter schools director, revealed that 80 items purchased with charter school program funds were delivered to Newpoint Schools in Escambia County. Sixty-five computers, tables and monitors meant for Newpoint Bay ended up in Escambia.

“This is a clear violation of CSP requirements, which restrict items purchased with CSP funds to schools that were awarded those funds,” Emerson wrote to John Stack, vice president of Newpoint operations..."
