IF YOUR CHILD WAS NOT ENROLLED AT EAA FROM AUGUST 2016-OCTOBER 2016 THIS PETITION WAS SENT TO YOU IN ERROR. PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UNLESS YOU INTEND TO RETURN ON JANUARY 9TH 2016.
On Monday 11/7 I will be taking the following demands to the board. If they do not comply by 12/23/15, we will not return on 1/9/2017. The school will not receive their funding in February of 2017 and they will eventually be forced to permanently close their doors.

We have no principal. We have not been officially informed by the school. Instead the staff is being forced to re iterate their curriculum directly to parents.
well, rather than delete the above comment i will own up to say you are correct tegarding the letter of non-compliance. I don't know if pbc school board will shut the school down, but there has been mismanagement, although I knew of it, I wasnt aware to the extent. I contacted the IG and they didnt admit to any investigation.
there are other schools you can 'change' your kids to. that is your freedom! excercise it!
lets not forget you pay $0 for your child or children to attend. The least you can do is contribute with school uniform money or anything else the school or Mr Blount make create income from. Seems like quite a bit of entitlement to publically complain about this. It no secret either, you're stating the obvious.
Fact: the Inspector General does not oversee charter schools. There is a charter school department for this. Where is the proof you mention? post it online and post a link here. I'd like to see this letter of non compliance. Post links to documents if you want to make claims like this. If your kids are no longer at EAA then why are you posting your false claims here?
If you truly meant this -that God's will be done- you would not be pushing your own agenda. This is clearly tour will. You are using emails likely obtained when parents are CC'ed in error on school emails and not campaigning for your demands to be met. That's saying it nicely and not assuming your involvement with the school is solely as a parent and not someone who had access to emails. You have the option to take your kids elsewhere, but instead you are choosing to create drama. That being said, I can empathize with your frustration, but this approach wont accomplish much. Your support is in this matter is less than 1%. Your intentions aside, this is only putting other kids' education at risk, which is quite self fish. Clearly you have too much free time.
We need change!

Thank you, I also have proves of the law suits, just don't know how to add a link here, otherwise I would. Also the non-compliance letter states that they need to renegotiate the contract with the landowner, thing that I am pretty sure will not happen. When they sign the lease contract with the landowner, it was based on the projection of the number of students, which in the first year was supposedly be 940 and that number was going to increase every year. Well, they have the same number of students or less than the first year, that means they can't afford the facility.
