The looting of our public school budgets continues ...

The two schools this year stand to receive at least another $4.6 million in voucher payments if enrollment holds.

...

Academic performance at the schools is very low. Last fall at the academy, only 2% of the students could read on grade level. Only 3% could do math on grade level.

...

This fall, the DPI received complaints via email from a former Ceria M. Travis employee who named several staff members teaching in 2013-'14 who did not have bachelor's degrees. She said the academy had sent DPI degree credential information for employees who weren't actually the ones teaching. "The teachers in K4-1st grade don't have a bachelor's degree," the former employee wrote to the DPI. "Instead they lied and said that staff members who do have degrees were teaching the class."

Another former employee said she once witnessed an on-site visit by the accrediting team where employees with degrees, such as a security person, were ushered into a class to act as a teacher while the person teaching, who didn't have a degree, was told to act as an assistant.

Federal nonprofit tax filings list the individual compensation for Travis Moore and Brinson, whose total compensation packages totaled $213,000 and $118,000 respectively, in 2012, according to those federal documents.

Brinson said five family members are employed at the organization, which has 67 employees. Travis Moore confirmed that Brinson's husband, Robert Brinson, works for the organization in a student support and security role.
