Rick Tra plays games

I just received a comment, left by Rick Tra. You all know him from some of the news coverage of the financial dirty dealings at the educational cesspool we lovingly refer to as Windsor Prep.

WFLA News Channel 8 has done several stories...please enjoy reviewing them.

Ha Ha Ha Ha

 These are the minutes of the April 13th  Windsor Prep Board Meeting. As usual, it's a fun read. I especially love the part at the bottom where they mention "improving neighbor relations".

Fully Engaged

  Meetings every two weeks, Management company still technically in place, but completely absent, locks being changed, parents trying to take control, deteriorating finances, heavy debt, audits, and more.
 

Another Board Meeting

  There is another Board Meeting tonight at the school...seems like one every couple of weeks lately. 

Will Pinellas County Tax Payers Have This To Look Forward To?

None of us knows if the parents will be able to force a reorganization and salvage Windsor prep and East Windsor Middle School. I'm sure they are working very hard to do so, and oddly, I actually sort of wish them luck.
That said, I wonder, if their efforts fail, is this what we will all have to expect....

Death Watch

   Death watch...not my words...that was how WFLA worded it in their latest report.

Strong Arm Tactics

  So, the hot mess that is Windsor Prep/ East Windsor Middle Academy may have caught a wee break, in that the Pinellas County school district's director of charter schools and home education, Rick Wolfe, is trying to win them an extension until May 18, to submit their "Corrective Action Plan. 

  Remember, they were given until yesterday, April 5, to come up with an acceptable "fix it plan",or face the districts' withdrawing its sponsorship of the charter

   Apparently the drafts they submitted Friday were too vague ( i.e. poorly done) when it came to detailing how they correct things, other than that they were trying to disassociate from Newpoint Education Partners.

  Shocker...

D-Day Looming

  Well, tomorrow is D-day for the "Rescue Plan" ordered to be submitted by the school, to the Pinellas County School Board.

  Wonder how that is going to go?
  Will they manage to convince the School Board not to revoke the Charter?
  Will they let Alliance Ed. of Florida take over, or will they award the management of the really an F but awarded an unwarranted C school Windsor Prep, and it's partner school East Windsor Middle, to one of the other sharks management companies circling the water that has expressed an interest?
  Will they shutter the whole scam operation at the end of the school year and just reorganize, apply for a new charter, and reopen as a new school to bilk the tax payers of Pinellas County out of millions more tax dollars?
  Who Knows! So much DRAMA!

MILLIONS Of Tax Dollars

  Well all you bunnies and chickadees...Spring Break is officially over, and it's back to reality for all of you.

  Last night's Board Meeting was a real eye opener for some, but in reality, it shouldn't have been.

Meeting Where We Learned We Left The Frying Pan For The Fire

  Well the much anticipated meeting has taken place, and boy I bet everyone feels just so darn reassured...or maube not.

  What we do know is $800,000 plus are unaccounted for!!  And that is just what has been discovered so far.
