A Charter School will stay open after going through a financial scandal involving to former leaders. Chad pradelli is live in wilmington to explain. Reporter rick these were tenuous times for people at the Academy Parents and teachers and students were concerned that the school would shut down after financial inproprietaries. The state board of education renewed their charter and the new leader in lamont brown. This is not about the school but two individuals that made bad decisions the school is strong. An independent audit found the schools leaders sean moore allegedly used School Credit cards to pay for personal expenses like car payments and grocery items. They say that moore spend more than 175,000. Both have since been fired. We tried to get comment from a dozen parents that showed up for parentteacher conferences and none wants to go on camera. Several teachers attended the vote today. We are delighted and we are working hard over the past couple of weeks to rectify the problems that came to light. I think monday nights Board Meeting showed that the school has what it takes to stay open. The secretary of education and officials refused a request for an on air interview and said in a statement that the school met academic standards. However the school will undergo a formal review to see if its violating its charter. Well continue to investigate and analyze every detail of the operation and make a strategic decision for what is best for the school.

I95 remains shut down here at woodhaven road and from chopper 6 hd they continue to force all the northbound traffic off on the westbound side of wood haven road and they are sending you to route 13 northbound to get back to northbound 95 the reason is the overturned truck accident with the scrap metal all over the roadway north of here approaching street road that is blocking all the lanes even though the accident happened at 1 15 this afternoon. This is the schuylkill expressway we see extra westbound traffic with people detouring away from i95, people approaching the roosevelt boulevard and that is heavy because of the 95 closure, i would still use the boulevard but if you are only going as far as northeast philadelphia and cotman avenue i would stick with 95 northbound, the jam really kicks in north of cotman to the closure point of wood haven road.
