DC charter funneling millions in tax dollars

And here’s another example of charter mismanagement of funds. “Kent Amos, founder of one of the oldest and largest D.C. charter school networks, allegedly funneled millions of school dollars to a for-profit management company he owns, according to a legal complaint filed Monday by D.C. Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan. . . This is the second D.C. charter school in the past year to come under scrutiny for allegedly funneling tax dollars to a management company with ties to school leaders. The District sued Options Public Charter School in October alleging that its three former leaders diverted millions of tax dollars to for-profit companies they owned. . . The management company also used its fees to make monthly loan payments of $1,148 on a 2010 Lexus CX 460 sport-utility vehicle, according to the complaint, which says that the vehicle was registered to Amos and assigned the specialty license plate ‘KIDS.’ http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/dc-officials-allege-improper-diversion-of-charter-funds/2014/06/02/a22ffcc2-ea94-11e3-b98c-72cef4a00499_story.html
