United States DOE Awards Over $2M to Four Charters That Will Never Serve A Single Student!
Just a quick post today to point out something rather striking.
Last October, my battle against Tikun Olam hit the national stage when the United States Department of Education's Office of Innovation and Improvement awarded "Friends of Tikun Olam", a non-profit started by the lead founder, a $600,000 federal grant.
They were not the only New Jersey charter awarded funds. The Shalom Academy, Spirit Preparatory Charter School, and Bright Horizon Charter School, each received similar or slightly smaller awards as well.
