by Dale Mezzacappa on Jul 23 2012
June Brown, a longtime School District administrator who jumped on the charter bandwagon early by founding three small charters and then co-founding a cyber school,has been charged in a massive fraud case by the U.S. Attorney.
The federal investigation was partly the result of dogged reporting over several years by the Inquirer's Martha Woodall on charter mismanagement and profiteering.
Brown, hailed at one time for stellar test scores, especailly at Laboratory Charter, drew simultaneous full-time salaries as the nominal head of two schools at a time. The indictment charges her with defrauding the three charter schools of $6.5
