This is a huge campus. And only 70 folks turned up for the groundbreaking ceremony. The MSM local media will try to floss this as a huge success, when in fact, it has no record in which to support any claims of success.
The crowd heard from a number of people involved with starting the school: Jason Bryant, regional vice president for Imagine Schools, who conceived the idea; Don Willis, a local entrepreneur and owner of Four D Educational Foundation, who helped point Bryant in the right direction and secure the site; Dennis Bakke, founder of Imagine Schools, a management company out of Michigan that oversees 39 charter schools across the country; and Matt Kelty, the architect for the project and Republican candidate for Fort Wayne mayor.
Charter schools are about a choice, and not about the only option for children who are kicked out of school. That's what will happen when Fort Wayne neighborhood schools are forced to closed if they are not repaired.
Tie a yellow ribbon around the trees in your yard, and support Fort Wayne Community Schools before it is too late
If Fort Wayne Community Schools is not successful in the remonstrance, the needed repairs will be delayed another year. In another year the school needs will more than likely increase. This is a delay tactic by the blue ribbon team in favor of a new charter schoolto harm Fort Wayne Community Schools progress. The citizens should not see public dollars go to a narrow focused school that is selling one sided christian values. Christian values that discriminate.
The charter school would not have been able to open had it not went outside of Fort Wayne to find a nonprofit company to run the school. This is not about educating our children. This is a land grab..seeking a profit. It can not be profitable unless it has children attending. And if attendance is free where is the money coming from?
Where is the money coming from to redesign the campus, and support the staff? It's your money.
All they need is just one.
Just one.
