Classical Academy is in the news again, this time not so nice. Allegations of racial incidents, bullying, and these:
- Failure to demonstrate financial transparency and implement adequate financial controls.
- Failure to eliminate conflicts of interest.
- Failure to demonstrate adequate accountability, maintain open records, and provide the public with access to documents and information.

Heavens, I know D20 stories that make it comparable to D2 schools. Hence why I keep saying schools differ only by socio-economics. Otherwise we use the same curriculum, teachers meet up together for the same trainings/seminars, teachers rotate through districts, same with students.
