Just some of the local support for Washington County public schools Woodland Prep Charter Gets Revoked by  Larry Lee  |  Jun 9, 2020  |  Charter Schools  | After a two-year battle that seemed to have more lives than a houseful of cats, the state charter school commission voted today (June 9) to revoke the charter granted in 2018 to Woodland Prep charter school in Washington County. How many articles have I written about this?  At least 50.  And to be honest, I got to the point where I began to doubt that I would ever have the chance to write a headline like the one above. In the end, it was as much a story about a very rural community that simply refused to quit fighting and standing up for what it believed in strongly.  It was about a community that takes pride in its public schools and refused to be bulldozed by a group of education “experts” from out-of-state who were far more intent on making money than helping children.

Washington County School at an above average level with improvements year after year.  FEATURED COLUMNISTS How a group of concerned citizens killed a bad  charter school A bad charter school died in Alabama on Tuesday.  For that, we should all cheer. For that, we should thank Betty Brackin and the concerned parents, teachers and citizens of Washington County.  Because the system that was supposed to provide checks and balances and weed out bad charter schools and bad actors failed miserably. Instead, it took an entire community crying foul and doing the research, investigating and due diligence that the commissioners should have done. he system didn’t work. So the people changed the system.  First things first, though, Woodland Prep, a charter school originally approved by the Alabama Charter Commission, had its charter revoked on Tuesday. It was the first such action by the commission in its brief history.  No matter what you might read in other pub

Some of the interesting things out of the 6 hour conference meeting were that first of all Woodland Preparatory's Attorney Nash Campbell is over his head.  Campbell tried to lay the lack of interest in the school with the town being prejudice but couldn't get anyone to testify about his claim, his 1 piece of proof was a Facebook posting about "Muslims" and Soner Tarim.  Soner Tarim is MIA (missing in action) and more than likely will sue Woodland Preparatory as he is Lead Academy for breach of contract. Mike Morley of ACD  tried to establish he was

Soner Tarim Unity School Services Contract With LEAD Academy #Gulen from Gulen Cemaat Montgomery's first charter school faces yet another hurdle as the education service provider for LEAD Academy ceased operations at the school several months ago. Unity School Services, a Texas based non-profit, signed a five-year contract with LEAD to provide services that are similar to a central office, including completing the school's payroll, ensuring compliance standards are met and conducting student assessments. Board President Charlotte Meadows confirmed Tuesday morning that Unity stopped providing services to the school around early December. "It’s not totally clear what's going on but they have decided to pull their operations from LEAD Academy almost two months ago," Meadows said. According to the contract with Unity, the company was being paid 13% of all gross revenue (federal, state and local) received during the school year, equaling about $30,000 a
