SANTA CLARA -- Despite concerns
about its finances, Magnolia Science Academy won a renewal of its charter to
continue operating.
On Wednesday the Santa Clara County
Board of Education granted a five-year extension for the public charter, which
has more than 500 students in grades 6 though 9.
The school, located in Santa Clara,
has had a negative cash flow, poor fiscal accounting and a problem with
internal controls, according to Micaela Ochoa, chief business officer for the
Santa Clara County Office of Education, which oversees the charter. Before
cementing an agreement with the county office, the school will have to get its
fiscal house in order, the county school board ordered. But on academic issues,
the board complimented the school, which stresses science and math.
About 30 parents, teachers and
children spoke to the board in praise of Magnolia's teaching and programs.
The county board voted 5 to 1, with
trustee Anna Song dissenting, to extend the charter. Trustee Darcie Green
abstained.
The school is one of 12 in the state
run by the Magnolia Educational & Research Foundation.

Fuck you Gulen Movement, Americans are fed up with your horseshit lies. The end is very very close. That money is drying up from the American tax payer and the Americans are saying "NO" to your lies. What happened on the EAST coast? 4 denials in a row: Loudoun (VA) Allentown (PA) Lancaster (PA) and Young Scholars Academy in PA. You might have gotten your paltry expansion in MA for Pioneer Academy of Science. Lets see if it every happens remember it is 'CONDITIONAL" Expect us, we are on your ASS 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You will lose.
