(Community Matters) hmm, I’m certainly not against charter schools, though potentially have reservations about Southwest Keys, its governance and transparency. As to charter schools, I’m a big fan of KIPP and the UT School. But, there are unconfirmed reports SW Keys’ CEO pays himself $600k to $800k from various affiliated entities associated with the nonprofit. I notice that a champion who helped him overcome previous community objections is a substantial vendor to Southwest Keys and that the school will pay rent to Southwest Key and share an administrator. Feels like Austin community leaders are being used to accomplish something Southwest Keys was unable to obtain approval for; something doesn’t feel right here. Hope I’m wrong.
community matters
It's about community, entrepreneurs, politics, art . . and sometimes just silly fun . . . a slightly gay blog.Eugene Sepulveda
Love big West Texas skies, Austin and my husband, Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 18 years – thirteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.
