Benji’s Charter School
QUESTIONS RAISED OVER CHARTER SCHOOL'S FINANCES, September 25, 2010, KTRK TV (Houston, TX)
Where is taxpayer money going and how is a taxpayer-owned building being used? Those are the new questions complicating the battle over Benji's Charter School in northeast Houston.
Benji's Academy has had its charter suspended because of concerns about money mismanagement and out of a concern over the health and safety of its students. Now the city of Houston is investigating the school's use of its city-owned building on in northeast Houston.
