Board recommends TIP Academy shut down

This from today's San Diego Union Tribune.

ENCINITAS – TIP Academy charter school should be shut down.

That's the recommendation from administrators at the Encinitas Union School District, who have concluded an investigation into alleged conflicts of interest and financial improprieties at the charter school, which it sponsors.

The recommendation, which is scheduled to go before the school district's board of trustees on Tuesday, was not entirely unexpected.

The district threatened to revoke TIP Academy's charter on May 6, as part of a “Notice to Remedy” numerous allegations of misconduct. A reorganized board of directors at TIP Academy has taken some steps, but Encinitas Union administrators say they've downplayed serious violations of education and government law.

The Encinitas school board meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Encinitas Union School District offices, 101 S. Rancho Santa Fe Road

Apparently, the changes made by the TIP board were not enough to satisfy the EUSD School Board. If it's an open meeting on Tuesday, it will definitely be a heated one.
