Hey its called "ACCOUNTABILITY" Asswipe Jerry Simmons, Magnolia Science Academy has lied about finances and about achievements for 14 years. Caprice Young may be delusional and believes she can play to the media with her expensive Larson Communications. Caprice can bark all day long that Magnolia answered all the CDE, OIG and FCMT inquiries but the proof is in the documentation, Caprice & Co., was spared the testimony of 4 more departments because the real 1,000 lb gorilla in the room was the fact that Magnolia Science Academy is and has been a troubled organization from the get go. Frankly, Caprice Young is a horrible speaker and lacks the training in education to actually know what she is speaking about. Another overpaid profiteer that should clean up her act and stop lying to media not everyone is for sale like she is. Magnolia Science Academies are not the vehicle for CCSA to grow the charter movement in California no matter how much Lira the Gulen Movement pays to California Charter School Association. Criminal crime cartels that smear, vilify and damage candidates that are perceived as pro public education will not be tolerated by the American people.
CCSA tactics are the same as the Gulen Movement no wonder they share the same address and are cozy roommates at 250 E. First St., Los Angeles, CA. Hey Attorney General you reading? Nothing like collusion and co- mingling of profit with non-profit funds not to mention all that generous government money bonds, grants, title I-V - DO WE SMELL ANOTHER FBI RAID on Gulen operated charter schools?

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) --
Five schools have lost their charter status after the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education voted to deny their renewals Tuesday night.The five schools include Magnolia Science Academy 1, Magnolia Science Academy 2, Magnolia Science Academy 3, Celerity Dyad and Celerity Troika.
The board could have revoked El Camino Real Charter High School's authority to operate, but decided to stay the action, as long as the school agrees to the district's terms.
The Los Angeles Daily News reported El Camino Real Charter High School's Executive Director David Fehte would resign under a tentative agreement that stops the charter revocation process started by LAUSD.
Under the agreement, Fehte would step down effective Oct. 26, according to The Los Angeles Daily News.
A review by the district found several problems with the high schools including alleged inappropriate spending, claims of importing foreign teachers and having possible conflicts of interest with corporations.
Tuesday's board meeting drew a large crowd of parents and teachers in downtown Los Angeles.
"I believe it's all about LAUSD trying to regain control of all the charters because our kids excel. We have great donors. We raise a lot of money as parents and as a community for our children," El Camino Real Charter High School parent Erin Sanchez said.
LAUSD has the highest number of independently operated charters in the U.S. school system.

The L.A. school board’s vote was 6 to 0 against a five-year renewal for three schools operated by locally based Magnolia Educational and Research Foundation. Board member George McKenna abstained.
Magnolia came under widespread scrutiny after the Turkish government accused it and other U.S.-based charters with Turkish governing boards of helping foment a failed July coup in Turkey. The schools’ leaders denied any involvement.
A more direct concern for L.A. Unified was Magnolia’s importing of Turkish nationals and their families for teaching and other staff positions. That past practice is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the district’s inspector general.
Magnolia operates 10 campuses, including eight in L.A. Unified; the ones up for renewal were Magnolia Science Academy 1 in Reseda, Magnolia Science Academy 2 in Van Nuys and Magnolia Science Academy 3 in Carson.
DON'T BE TOO CONFIDENT CAPRICE YOUNG....There are no favors left for you at the County and State. You have no clout or credibility, without an expensive publicist you are nothing but a fraud.

SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, CA -- A leader of two independent charter schools in the San Fernando Valley said in remarks published Friday that she's "very confident" they can avoid shutdowns by appealing their denied renewal petitions to the county and possibly the state.
The Los Angeles Unified school board Tuesday refused to renew three Magnolia schools serving 1,400 sixth- through 12th-grade students, including Magnolia Science Academy campuses in Reseda and Van Nuys, as recommended by district staff.
"I feel angry and frustrated and concerned, but I'm also very optimistic because I think we're going to be successful at making our case at the county level or the state level. We've done that before,” Caprice Young, CEO of Magnolia Public Schools and a former president of the LAUSD school board, told the Los Angeles Daily News.
The district cited the Magnolia schools' failure to timely respond" to document requests from LAUSD’s Office of Inspector General, which has been investigating Magnolia Public Schools for more than two years, and the Fiscal Crisis Management Assistance Team, an external state agency that provides financial oversight.
LAUSD board member Scott M. Schmerelson, who voted against the renewal, said Magnolia appears to have a great educational program but called it "the most secretive school" he has seen, the Daily News reported.
