Because this is how they taught their students last year....
Instructional Programs and Strategies
Instructional Programs -
Describe how the school ensures its core instructional programs and materials are aligned to
Florida's standards :
Windsor Prep Academy currently implements the Florida Standards as outlined by our school district.
Windsor Prep revamped its curriculum to ensure that all are aligned to Pinellas County Schools. This
not only ensures that Windsor is using the most up to date and appropriate curriculum for our
students, but also allows our staff the opportunity to attend professional development that is offered in
the district.
Additionally, there are many online resources, calendars and curriculum guides that are utilized at Windsor Prep that are also utilized in Pinellas.
Windsor Prep administration and staff also regularly attend professional development that is designed
to support the latest Florida Standards and provide assistance to teachers with effective
implementation (probably mostly comprised of free training resources from the County)

Nope, no conflict of interest here folks
Isn't it nice to know the Deputy who responded out to our neighborhood multiple times came out with no agenda? No predisposition towards Windsor Prep, the "F" school. None whatsoever?
Oh...wait..there's this:

It's always about the $$$$$
The structure of Charters is slim shady at best.
The school itself may be non-profit, but remember, the parent company does not have to be.
The school rents the land and building from the parent company which keeps the school cleanish, but rakes in millions for the companies that own them. It's quite a scheme.
http://www.wtsp.com/story/news/investigations/2014/08/21/charter-school-profits-on-real-estate/14420317/
Even if the school goes belly up, the parent companies own the property, buildings, equipment, etc, and can sell that off with no money coming to the local community that funded it through taxes.
At least the Taj Mahal Sheriff Bob built up in Largo is something the county owns.
Granted it is an $84million field of dreams that has kept absolutely none of his promises to the citizens of our county and granted he sits pretty in his lovely offices, and super duper new conference room, but at least he can't sell it and profit off of us all.

Joke of the day...traffic enforcement
ENFORCEMENT
Enforcement may be considered education through experience due to lack of knowledge, error, or careless behavior on the part of the driver, bicyclist, motorcyclist, or pedestrian. Being cited for a moving traffic violation or receiving a ticket is certainly learning the hard way.
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO)(hahahahahahahahaha), the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), and 13 municipal law enforcement agencies are responsible for upholding and implementing Florida traffic laws. (That was the funniest punchline ever, huh?)
(Note: other jurisdictions actually do enforce traffic laws...guess their wives aren't the assistant to the Principal like our great ,helpful Deputy Dressbeck's wife is. But that isn't a conflict of interest, huh?)
Such law enforcement covers 25 jurisdictions within Pinellas County . The MPO works with law enforcement by providing traffic crash data which assists them in determining the possibility of placing officers at high crash locations.
Parts of the above taken from the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY COMMITTEE AGENDA WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014 :

School Districts managing Charters?
Maybe things would be better if more local school districts managed Charters. Wait, did I say maybe?
It would certainly lead to better oversight of how our tax dollars are being squandered and manipulated for profit by the shady real estate dealings these schools conduct.
Additionally, it would perhaps prevent "F" schools like Windsor Prep from merely offering the same curriculum as the Pinellas County School district in their "improvement plan", yet still making their parent company TONS of money off the backs of hard working tax payers.
Hmmm...what a concept

Naturally the "F" school Windsor Prep is non-compliant
Apparently rules are for sissies, but not for our favorite "F" school. While not as bad as some, they still don't seem to think doing the right thing is their kind of thing...

new subscriber: Second grade F*****g
Yay... a Windsor The "F" School staff member has subscribed to our Youtube Channel.
I believe she is the charmer that used to like to shout out how much her school "rocks" (remember..."F" school.) and mention how she would pray for my neighbors when she in fact would probably burst into flames if she walked into a church. Keep on spreading the joy to the second graders :)
The more the merrier

This past years "improvement plan"
Of course without testing, there is no way to determine if in fact they have "improved" or if they remain an "F" school.
But do remember, if they do manage to drag themselves out of the "F" zone, it will be thanks to Pinellas County's public school curriculum, and teaching methods.
Now, would that make it great to be "F" School Windsor Wildcats or Copycats? hhhmmmm
