Milwaukee Voucher Program Hit by Scandal -- April 5, 2004

MILWAUKEE -- One school that received millions of dollars through the 
nation's oldest and largest voucher program was founded by a convicted 
rapist. Another school reportedly entertained kids with Monopoly while 
cashing $330,000 in tuition checks for hundreds of no-show students.... 

The troubles have helped lead to passage of a state law requiring 
voucher schools to report more financial information to the state...
But so far, efforts to impose more rigorous academic standards on 
voucher schools have failed. 

At the Mandella Academy for Science and Math, school officials admitted 
signing up more than 200 students who never showed and then cashing 
$330,000 in state-issued tuition checks, which the principal used to 
buy, among other things, Mercedes-Benzes for himself and the assistant 
principal. 

Meanwhile, Alex's Academics of Excellence received $2.8 million in 
voucher money over three years before the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 
reported that the school's founder, James A. Mitchell, served nearly 
a decade in prison for a 1971 rape. Unlike their counterparts at 
public schools, principals and teachers at private schools do not 
have to undergo criminal background checks...

"Some of these places they have opened up a school, it's a doggone 
shame. There's kids playing in alleys and the streets," said Lee Brown, 
who sent her daughters, ages 14 and 16, to Mandella. Mandella's 
principal, David Seppeh, does not have a teacher's license and was not 
required to submit any information about the school's philosophy or 
curriculum before receiving upwards of $1 million in voucher funding. 
The district attorney's office seized a Mercedes from his home. 
A criminal investigation is under way. 

The Mandella school initially reported an enrollment of 476 students, 
but 235 of them did not show....

As for academics at Mandella...no one has any idea how the students 
were doing. "That's the problem. We don't know. They don't have to tell 
us anything like that," she said. "I highly doubt they were doing that 
well, since they were playing Monopoly and watching movies." ....
