For actual clarity, in 2023, Castille made $270,000 while the superintendent of Baker schools earned $157,000 in 2024.

Why are you refusing to provide this damming information?

ETA I looked up their 2022 990 and his salary was $125,073. So between 2022-2023 he earned $395,073. Are you still claiming that he only earned $400k between 2020-2023?

Edit 2. He earned $269,227 in 2021.

You’re either a liar or a liar. Next time don’t lie about things so easily verifiable (To use your words) you dumb frick.

Maybe you don’t know how they work. Do you know what a Type 2 charter is?

I know how they work in Florida, because we helped start one. I'm really surprised to learn after 25 years of growth, wait lists and stellar performance that it was all a grift.

Charters are nothing but a private entity money grift where the $ flow into CMO administrators instead of the students. Biggest scam going.

I’m really shocked that someone in on the grift would deny that it’s a grift.

We're just parents you dumb count. That's the point; the school was started by parents. There is no management company, the board members are volunteers. We never made a dime off of it but we got an excellent education for our kids.

Baker has been a clusterfrick for years.

I’m not sure how going all charter can make it measurably worse if it is still the same management and teachers.

I don’t know how things work in Florida but in Louisiana, charters are primarily awarded to nonprofit agencies.

It's one of the many things I can't wait to leave you poor frickers sentenced to remain here holding the bag on.

"Primarily" means less than 100%, yet you're claiming that all charter schools are a grift. Even if nonprofit = grift (which is a bs claim) how are they any more of a grift than the public schools?

I’m not claiming to have read every charter ever authorized in Louisiana. To my knowledge, charters are only awarded to nonprofits in Louisiana.

Bloated administration (much more bloated than public school admins) that eat up funding to pay their high salaries. Charter schools often choose not to purchase consumables for student like textbooks and pencils as cost cutting measures. These are just some of the most obvious examples.

So? We had to form a non-profit for our charter school as well. You've got to have some sort of corporation to exist legally.

None of that happens in the public school system. They always spend money wisely.

Here's the key difference: if a charter school does that and parents get dissatisfied, they leave and it goes out of business. If your local public school sucks it still soldiers on, spending your tax dollars for a shitty product. That's a grift.

That’s not how it works in Louisiana but sure. You’ve been pretty deceptive about this shady school you started (went from a group of parents without a management company to now admitting a nonprofit was started to get the charter). I’m sincerely glad you’re satisfied with the education your kid(s) received.

Charter schools are public schools run privately via charters, or contracts.

In the N.O. thread about this you argued with me for pages when I said charters were independent of board overwatch

Now youre telling me thats what is happening in all of Bakers schools

At least pick a lane and stay in it. You will come off as being more believable

Holy shite you're retarded. Incorporating into a non-profit doesn't mean a management company was involved. The school was and still is run by a board populated mainly by parents who receive no compensation.

You being a dumbass doesn't mean I'm being deceptive.
