That’s not proof. That’s allegation. Proof would be after the the principal resign and after the school got audited, the API scores plummeted. However, it didn’t. The source of “corruption” as you like to call it has been booted, yet the school still do quite well on their 2008 API score. How do you explain that? The district does not like charter schools and the current system gave the power to the district, which allow them to try to find as many ways as they can to shut down the charter school(s). How many times do you see similar investigation in public schools? I’ve seen these type of “investigation” in other charter school, such as TIP Academy in Encitas. I know the teacher there and there are two sides to every story. The district DO NOT like the fact that charter schools are taking their $ away.
Can you tell me with a straight face that the teachers at public schools are not being pressured to teach to the test or that some of them are not trying to inflate grades? I’ve also heard stories of corruptions in the SDUSD as well, but you’ll never gonna see them get investigated to see where all the money go. All I can say is, if a private elementary school can do well with $8k/yr tuition and SDUSD elementary schools are getting over $9k+/yr, I’d expect them to be better than the private schools, since they can consolidate a lot of the administrative jobs.
