 Los Angeles, CA – Magnolia Public Schools announced today that successful business and financial executive and Magnolia parent Noël Russell-Unterburger was unanimously voted the new chairperson of the board for Magnolia Public Schools, a network of 10 high-performing public charter schools that serves close to 4,000 students throughout Southern California.

Russell-Unterburger’s immediate goals are to ensure that the organization’s operations and existing systems stay strong. An accounting and finance expert, she has worked on developing and strengthening internal controls at different organizations throughout her career. The California State Auditor formally closed in July its exhaustive review of the schools concluding that they are operationally sound and financially responsible with taxpayer funds.

“I have watched Magnolia go from an organization that started out on multiple QuickBooks accounts to one that is now operationally strong and with systems in place to ensure accountability and transparency,” said Russell-Unterburger, who has served on Magnolia’s board since 2012, and has had two children attend its schools. “I’m proud and excited to now serve as board chair of a school network that has such committed teachers, staff and families, and to work with the leadership team to support these amazing schools into our next level of growth and success.”

Magnolia has made significant improvements in fiscal controls, compliance and accountability since longtime education leader Caprice Young was named CEO in January 2015. They hired a widely respected third-party auditor and educational services provider and engaged the Fiscal Crisis & Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) to provide fiscal oversight. They also put controls and third-party check and balances in place to prove that the organization’s finances and operations are transparent and fiscally sound.

The nine-member Magnolia board mostly includes engineers and finance experts, but Russell-Unterburger will make it a priority to continue to diversify the board. They are actively searching for two new board members to bring in new and different backgrounds, perspectives and expertise.

“Over the past 18 months, Magnolia has strengthened its internal and financial controls, making it a highly accountable operation,” said Young. “Noel’s experience will be a tremendous asset to our organization, helping it strengthen and grow, as we work to meet the growing demand for our program.”

Russell-Unterburger brings 18 years of financial management, leadership and advisory experience to the board. Before taking on the role of Vice President of Finance and IT at the YWCA Greater Los Angeles in 2013, she served for eight years as CFO for People in Progress, Inc., one of the city’s leading providers of substance-abuse treatment plans.

“I strongly believe in the importance of having people with different skillsets to not only lead, but be a part of our board,” said former board Chairman Umit Yapanel, who as a board member will continue to support the search for two new board members. “As an organization, we have to evolve in order to be able to grow and meet the needs of communities looking for high quality public schools.”

In April, U.S. News & World Report recognized Magnolia’s schools for the fifth year in a row as being among the best in the nation. Magnolia Science Academy 2 in Van Nuys was the top-ranked charter high school in Los Angeles Unified, and along with Magnolia Science Academy Reseda, was named in the top 100 high schools in California. Both high schools are in the top three percent of all U.S. high schools.

An outside analysis recently revealed that Magnolia Science Academy (MSA) Reseda was 14th among all Los Angeles high schools for its UC acceptance rate—with 29.82 percent of its seniors being accepted to UC schools.

Further proof of whitewashing of Gulen ties to Magnolia Science Academy, Larson Communication

More money is going away from American students and classrooms to the promotion of Magnolia Science Academy and their CEO Caprice "Capricious" Young. Magnolia Science Academy hired Larson PR Communications to puff up Caprice Young's image as a trailblazing educational reformer. To write stories about Magnolia Science Academy's community support and good deeds. There is a direct effort to distance Magnolia Science Academy from the Gulen Movement, there is 100% proof from the expensive Public Relations firm of Larson Communication who is paid to whitewash the horrid truth about Magnolia Science Academy A GULENIST OPERATED CHARTER SCHOOL. To Caprice Young, lets see your sorry ass in court and try to deny any of this, the evidence is overwhelming you and your schools are not wanted in California.

MAGNOLIA SCIENCE ACADEMY SPENDS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HIDE THEIR AFFILIATION WITH GULEN

Caprice Young epic failure at Santa Clara County School Board, another "Revision" request.

April 6th, 2016 Caprice Young, brought Gulenist Yilmaz Ak, new principal of Santa Clara Magnolia Science Academy Dr. Michele Ryan and her high priced attorney Jerry Simmons. To a pitiful hearing at the Santa Clara County School board to request a revision to their erratic and unstable plans.  The video is here and it's Agenda #10, kudos to Dr. Anna Song for holding Caprice Young accountable for her many excuses and blaming.  WATCH here Santa Clara County Office of Education board meeting

Here is what Caprice Young needs to do less of, BREAKING EDUCATIONAL CODES, never fear Caprice we know you had your webmaster take down the warning we have all the proof we need.  Do more of what works and that is being honest.

Shame on you Caprice Young, lying bitch.

Magnolia Science Academy photo bomb politicians to appear credible

Gulen Movement has very strong intentions to "spread into the arteries of the system" as their leader has ordered them.  The movement uses all tactics to infiltrate politics, education, media, dialogue, judiciary and other spheres of influences. 

These tactics include:
lying, false marketing, bribes, manipulation, intimidations, cajoling, campaign contributions and paying expensive "spokes persons"

Here is a sample of Magnolia Science Academy shameless photo bombing.

Congressman Brad Sherman paid a visit to Magnolia Science Academy Reseda, CA to give
some Congressional awards to Magnolia students. Doubtful Sherman will be doing any favors for the Gulen Movement.

GULEN MOVEMENT features is putting on a "show" always the same 

predictable nature.  

Ahmet and Emir Dikyurt are the twin sons of Kubilay Dikyurt who is the President of the Turkish American Chamber of Commerce.  He is friends with businessman Remzi Oten who is on the board of the Magnolia Science Academy and one of the orginal applicants of Magnolia Science Academy.  He and another original applicant of MSA still reside in California, the rest are back in Turkey, 2 are on the east coast.

Here is Kubilay Dikyurt mentioned in the Wikileaks cables having to do with Gulen activities, this has to do with his planning of the Anattolia Festival with the other Gulen Organization Pacifica Insitute   https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08ISTANBUL487_a.html

Mehmet Argin formerly of Paragon Science Academy now Magnolia Science Academy CEO "No Organic Ties" REALLY?

Mehmet Argin is a loyal Gulen Follower and will go anywhere to grow the share
of power for the Gulen Movement. 

MEHMET ARGIN, WE CHALLENGE YOU TO STOP
LYING ABOUT THE CHARTER SCHOOLS AFFILIATED
WITH EXILED IMAM FETHULLAH GULEN

2010 USA Today Article "Objectives of charter schools with Turkish ties questioned"
 http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/education/2010-08-17-turkishfinal17_CV_N.htm

in this article Argin is quoted:

that Daisy Education Corporation "has no legal or organic ties" with other schools.  He cautions against linking charter schools founded by Turkish-Americans directly to the Gulen Movement "just because Turkish Americans may be inspired by Mr. Gulen"
Quote by Mehmet Argin

4 years ago 2010 Mehmet Argin was with the Sonoran Science Academies /Paragon Science in Arizona.  He made a statement that none of these schools opened by Turkish Americans have "organic ties".  Mehmet Argin even put out the usual Gulen endorsement of Paragon Science Academy.

 

Fast forward to 2014 Mehmet is now in California working as the CEO Superintendent of the Gulen-Inspired operation Magnolia Science Academy.  Here is his glowing endorsement of the California schools.  If you compare with the Paragon video above you will hear the same words.

Now for the other Gulen Liar- Mr. Umit (Matt) Yapanel, who is currently the Superintendent of the

California Schools.  Matt (Umit) was formerly the Principal in Colorado of the Gulen "inspired" school Lotus School of Excellence.  Matt failed to get an expansion in CO, because of poor scores and hired an attorney to take his case to the state board of education EPIC FAILED. (does that story sound familiar California People?)
