Seems like a good way to get your hands one some quick goverment grant money then bounce.

I mean, this is what is happening all over the country with charter schools, particularly in states with the voucher systems where they get the voucher money that follows the kid. Terrible, barely qualified/unqualified teachers (because the pay is crap at charters typically), and a focus on being a business rather than actual education.

Out here in AZ there have been numerous occasions of charters closing mid year and the owners bouncing with millions. And many of the politicians that push the voucher systems in either directly own charters or have family that do. Shocking how that works.
