Last fall several homeschool families were told that their files had gone missing. An HSLDA attorney carefully searched to find out what was going on. Now he’s working with state officials on a solution.
LAKELAND Polk County School Board member Sarah Fortney wanted answers.
At a recent School Board work session, she began asking about IDEA Public Schools, a non-profit charter school company based in Texas that has applied to open a School of Hope” in 2023 for an area in North Lakeland with three chronically underperforming schools Crystal Lake and Griffin elementary schools and Kathleen Middle School.
Fortney found some troubling information using a quick Google search and asked IDEA school officials at the Feb. 23 School Board work sessions whether IDEA Public Schools has a management company that might have been handling its finances.
