Former Newpoint Charter School Owner Gets 20 Years, Fined $5 Million
November 14, 2018
Marcus May, former owner of Charter School Management Company, Newpoint Education Partners, LLC was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years state prison and fined $5 million dollars.
Circuit Judge Thomas Dannheisser sentenced May, and described his conduct as “a shocking pattern of pervasive theft”.
An Escambia County jury convicted May of two counts of racketeering and one count of organized fraud after a four week trial in which prosecutors presented evidence from more than 100 witnesses and dozens of boxes of financial records and documents.
It is one of the first racketeering cases involving a charter schools management company brought in Florida.

Charter School shenanigans right here folks.
Florida Legislature’s fair haired child and the Big Business of Charter Schools and their Lobbyists are making Millions upon Millions while putting a stranglehold on Public Education.
