"Education Inc., Part II" -- Imagine Schools under the microscope

View the original

by David Safier
I've been out of town, so I haven't written about the second and third installments of the Fort Wayne, Indiana, Journal Gazette's series on Imagine Schools: Education Inc. This is about Part II, It's 'Our school, not theirs,' which is a doozy.

The glue in this installment is the email Imagine CEO Dennis Bakke sent to the top people in the corporation, saying the local school boards should be little more than rubber stamp groups whose job is to vote Yes on whatever Imagine Schools wants to do.

"But what's wrong with that?" Imagine higher-ups want to know. After all, the corporation decides where to put the schools.
