The closure of Bridges Academy due to fraud was one of the hardest roles I ever played as a charter leader. While I am glad justice has been served, I am deeply saddened for the families and staff who lost their community school. This case is a critical reminder of why strong internal controls are essential. We have tools and strategies to help charter schools detect common problems before they become crucial—and, in cases like this, critical. It’s our mission to ensure no school faces the same fate. If your school is in need of support, we’re here to help. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Let’s build a stronger, more resilient future for your school community. https://lnkd.in/e6yKBJcn #CharterLeadership #StrongerTogether #SchoolGovernance #Accountability

This upcoming school year City Year Jacksonville ‘s theme is “It’s Possible.” And it just so happened to be the first day all 20 of us are wearing shirts that have the definition of “possible” on them. Little did we know we would be demonstrating exactly what that means this morning. At 730am I got a call from our team saying the AC in our entire building was out. Not only would that generally be a problem but it was a huge problem this morning considering we were expecting to host school leaders from all of our whole school, whole child partnership schools plus our staff (50 people!). This was set to begin at 830am! I immediately start calling people at 745am hoping we could pivot quickly and not have anyone suffer through 90degree office heat. Would you believe every person I called picked up? And within minutes I had 2 possible space options for 50 people! 🥹 Thank you Rachael Tutwiler Fortune, Haley Wright Tinkle, Mari Kuraishi, Melanie Patz. (Jacksonville Public Education Fund, Downtown Vision Inc., Jessie Ball duPont Fund, United Way of Northeast Florida ) ❤️ Not only that. When our staff found out we had to pivot, instead of complaining, they picked up the mantle of support and made the shift happen like it was nothing. While the community made space for us, our staff came together as one to make it happen. 💥 As I enter into the revision phase of MY FIRST MANUSCRIPT 📖(you read that right) where I’m writing about the power of community, I am reminded of that even more today. In a time where we are seemingly so divided, we should never forget that every day people and communities are coming together demonstrating something very different. They are showing what’s possible even in trying times. At the end of the day, finding space with AC can feel like a simple logistical thing but I believe it symbolizes something bigger if you look closer. What if in the same way we find division so easily, we also find the ways where we are united and supporting each other? What you seek is what you will find, right? I’ll leave you (and me) with this: How will you unleash the power of community? How have you witnessed it? Key questions I know I’ll keep asking myself. I hope you’ll join me. 💡 #community #jax #united #joyfulcollective #power

🌟 Preserving the Spirit of Kansas City: Learning from the Past, Building for the Future 🌟 Kansas City, our beloved home, stands at a crucial crossroads, echoing the stories of cities that have faced the departure of their major league teams. From San Diego to St. Louis, history has shown us the profound economic and cultural voids left behind—local businesses grappling with loss, communities feeling the absence of their unifying spirit, and cities burdened with the echoes of empty stadiums. 🏟️ The Cost of Departure: In cities like Oakland and St. Louis, the departure of cherished teams meant not only a loss of game-day revenues—estimated in the tens to hundreds of millions—but also left communities shouldering the weight of unused stadiums and unpaid debts, impacting local economies and morale. 🌈 A Vision for Our Future: Kansas City has a choice—to learn from these lessons and champion a future where the Royals and Chiefs continue to ignite our spirit, bolster our economy, and unite our community. Voting YES on Q1 isn't just about sports; it's about securing a legacy of vibrancy, unity, and prosperity for generations to come. 🔍 Why Your YES Matters: Your YES decision on Q1 is a stand for more than just keeping our teams; it's a commitment to the cultural and economic fabric of Jackson County. It's about ensuring our city doesn't just survive but thrives, with thriving local businesses, vibrant community events, and a legacy that echoes the greatness of Kansas City. 💡 The Power of Staying Together: Let's not become a tale of what was lost but a story of what we built together. As we've seen in cities from Denver to Baltimore, when teams stay, they can drive cultural and economic revitalization. Kansas City is no different. Our Royals and Chiefs are more than teams; they're the heartbeat of our city. 🙌 Join Us in Saying YES to Q1: This is about our future, our children's future, and the enduring spirit of Kansas City.

📢 Calling all advocates for consumer protection and student veterans! I'm seeking amicus support for my case: Feehan v. Grand Canyon University, 0:24-cv.pr-01172, at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. #highereducation Related case: FTC v. GCE,Inc./GCU 2:23-cv-02711-JZB 2:23-02711-PHX-DWL https://lnkd.in/ehrBfXBS I’ve been juggling a lot lately—full-time work, bar exam preparation, veteran health matters, all while providing for my family. I’ve come to realize it’s time to ask for some help. 🔍 Key Issues: FDCPA & NCDPA: Challenging deceptive debt collection practices. Falsename & Substantial Business Exception: Addressing critical legal interpretations. Student Veteran Rights: Spotlighting third-party beneficiary concerns. (The C.F.R. argument defense and the court did not respond to) Misleading Conduct & Omitted Defendant: Highlighting the need for accountability. After facing relentless, egregious, and abhorrent debt collection actions during a very tough period for me back in 2022-23, I stood up to what I believed was an injustice, not just to me but potentially affecting others, especially vulnerable student veterans. 💡 This case is bigger than just one dispute; it's about setting a precedent for fairness and integrity in debt collection, higher education, and the student veteran community. I’ve reached out to the FTC and CFPB and am now extending this call to my network and beyond. If you're part of an organization, legal advocacy group, or law firm passionate about these issues, your support through an amicus brief could be pivotal, or if you’re my friend and simply want to help by sharing this post, I thank you! Let’s make a stand together for justice and consumer rights. Thank you for any support or share to help this reach those who can make a difference! DM me for the relevant pleadings.

What would it look like to redefine fiduciary duty, and consider the impact on community alongside financial return? This a discussion that we've had around many tables with potential investors, and this article by Sandhya Nakhasi does an amazing job at exploring the question. “You can’t build wealth for Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color by continuing to extract wealth from these same communities that have faced multigenerational exclusion and extraction from our financial systems.” Read the full article below: https://lnkd.in/eW2s3Dc4
