Lealman Community Campus

Well well well...looks as though our little neighborhood won't have to worry about another corrupt charter school invading our neighborhood and overburdening us with traffic.

No more idiotic, inconsiderate, self entitled parents glomming onto the idea of their kids attending what they perceive to be a private school setting at tax payer's expense.

No more low class jerks parking in our yards, knocking over our mailboxes, blocking our driveways, throwing garbage in our streets and yards, screaming obscenities, and abusing their relationships with deputies for personal gain.

No more obnoxious teachers and staff filing false police reports, trespassing, or having screaming matches with their husbands in the school parking lot.

Ambulances and emergency vehicles will able to get in to assist, parcel delivery and lawn services will not be disrupted...

Gosh, who ever thought we would miss the school? Cause we don't. Oh, does that sound smug? Sorry not sorry.

And now, with the county having purchased the site and opened a community center we will not have to worry about dealing with all of that again.

Let The Trials Begin

Looks like the criminals that ran Newpoint Education Partners, and the great con known as  Windsor Prep/ East Windsor Middle Schools are all finally starting  to get their days in court.

Steven Kunkemoeller will be the first, with many subpoenaed to testify...buckle your seat belts folks...

Charters and Consequences: An Investigative Series By The Network For Public Education

This is a must read for those considering Charter Schools and for everyone in communities with Charter Schools.

Charters and Consequences

So Are Charters Really Better?

Just look at this report out of Orange County after school grades were released.
Yes, several charters are thriving..but conversely so are public schools.
However, statewide they have a higher failure rate.

Orlando Sentinal

I do agree we need to improve the testing and grading process, but maybe we need to stop funding these private enterprises and focus on getting back to basics at public schools.

Fewer Equals Better

Just a quick link to a post on redefinedonline.org

Interesting

More people, school boards, counties, and states need to start standing up to charter school groups, lobbyists, and greedy legislators.

More Indictments

Just thought I'd post these here in case anyone stops by..

Marcus May Indicted on racketeering charges

and Not surprised by this

Such a pretty picture

Yet again, I am reminded of what a gem this operation was..it was all about the children, damn the neighborhood and it's residents. You drove a family out, tried to ruin another, harassed and bullied many...and you still lost.

The best part of it all is that the burden of that lies on all of the Windsor Prep families for not having done any research, and for having invested their children into this quagmire.

And lastly, I bet all the children whom you acted as though they would die if they did not get to attend this school are doing perfectly fine.

Insult to Injury

This has to hurt just a bit.....

School Grades

The Florida Department of Education released the 2015-2016 statewide school grades today.

What A Welcome Sight

  Look at all the Pinellas  County Schools trucks in the (formerly known as) Windsor Preparatory Academy, and East Windsor Middle School parking lot.

What Will You Do Now?

So, Windsor Prep and East Windsor Middle Academy have voluntarily rescinded their charter, effectively ceding the "Hope For Windsor" battle.
Guess that means no more "It's great to be a Wildcat" war cries, huh?

Ha Ha Ha Now Your Kids Will Go To Public School *updated*

   So Windsor Prep and East Windsor Middle will now be public schools. (If they survive at all)
    It was wonderful to see some of you, through your self pitying tears, trying to reassure yourselves that you won, since it will be a (you hope) magnet school. (If the property owner agrees)

Public? Charter? A Big Old Mess?

  I can not say how  entertaining  interesting it has been reading these news stories over the last few days. 
  The scramble is really on at the joke that is Windsor Prep and East Windsor Middle, and the Hope For Windsor crowd.

Today's The Day

Well, I am sure the school's designated Board Members are preparing to head off to the Pinellas County School Board and lay out their operational plan and budget in the hopes that the ninety day termination notice will be rescinded.

I Bet They Will Put On A Good Show

Ooh I bet everything has been spit shined and polished for today's visit by Pinellas County School Board Member Linda Lerner.

This Is What Sen. Jeff Brandes Needs To Fight

Instead of grabbing for publicity, and bullying school board members, Florida state Senator Jeff Brandes should be fighting for the state's tax paying citizens.

Attorneys For Newpoint Education Partners Plead Not Guilty...

Attorneys representing Newpoint Education Partners appeared in Escambia County Court last Thursday and submitted written pleas of NOT GUILTY in response to the charges grand theft, money laundering and aggravated white collar crime.

Sen. Jeff Brandes Always Loves For Profit Charter Schools, Tax Payers Only When It's Convenient

Florida state Senator Jeff Brandes is riding in like a Carpet Bagger white knight to resurrect some "Hope for Windsor"

After weeks of  insulting the Pinellas County public school system, ignoring the fact that they were perfectly happy to have enrolled, and kept their kids in an F school, and of claiming victimization when it was their own lack of involvement and research that facilitated the Newpoint disaster, the frantic pleas of the Windsor Prep and East Windsor parents have been heard.

Pot, Meet Kettle

Is this true Windsor Prep? I mean really, one would have hoped that with your well documented experiences, would come wisdom...

Bad For Business

The Tampa Bay Business Journal has now chimed in on the Windsor  Prep and East Windsor Middle Academy scandal.
