Panic At Thomas Edison Charter School As 20 Teachers Called Out Today

The Board of Directors at Thomas Edison Charter School are facing a head-on karma collision today.  At least 20 teachers called out sick today forcing the school to close for the day in early dismissal.  Dr. Salome Thomas-EL has been placed on indefinite leave by the board.  Parents don’t know what is going on due to the lack of transparency coming from the board.

Yesterday afternoon, members of the board met with teachers after school.  Note to self: find out if there was a quorum because there was no agenda posted for this meeting.  Several teachers walked out of this meeting.

I did find out their “Foundation” account is due to the school owning the building.  That account is meant for lease and renovation payments to which they receive payments from the state.  Whether it is used for that purpose, I cannot say.  But it is my hope someone in the state looks into that.  My question would be why they need a separate bank account and why those bank statements aren’t available to the public since it is fueled by taxpayer funds.

At this point it is a no-brainer that the Delaware Dept. of Education has gotten involved.  Far too much has happened since yesterday morning.  I have not found out whether or not a charter school board has the authority to deny teachers a state approved increase in pay.  My sense is that they do not have this authority.  And is Thomas Edison the only charter denying these increases to their teachers?
