Opening sentence:  It's unclear how the private school plans to pay the millions of dollars it allegedly owes teachers, its D.C. landlords, contractors and vendors.

Jesus:
"Employees at the Whittle School's D.C. campus were officially given notice July 12 of their termination, according to interviews with five former teachers and staff members and an email obtained by the Washington Business Journal. They are still missing three paychecks: from Feb. 15, when parents sent money via Venmo to temporarily cover some salaries, as well as from June 30 and the first part of July until the school closed, according to the former teachers and staff members, who requested anonymity for fear of negative repercussions on their current or future employment."[/quote]

Remember this, less than three years ago when CW was saying this and most of the world was believed him" Wonder what lessons are being learned by students in this momen?:

Backed by nearly $700 million of
operating and real-estate-related
capital, we have gathered a global
consortium of hundreds of educators,
architects, artists, technologists,
and other experts. By the time our
first campuses open, we will have
collectively planned every aspect of
our school—five years in advance.
Such forward thinking is unheard of in
the annals of Old School history.
Here is the blueprint for
Whittle School & Studios.
In the fall of 2019, our first two
campuses will open, in Shenzhen
China, and Washington, D.C. By
2026, we plan to expand to a system
of 36 major campuses in the world’s
leading cities. Designed by Renzo
Piano Building Workshop of Genoa,
Italy, each campus will have 600,000
square feet and serve approximately
2,500 students, ages three to 18, with
about 160 students per grade. Roughly
60 percent will be day students, and
the remaining 40 percent will be
weekly and full boarders. At capacity,
Whittle School & Studios will be
a highly integrated global learning
community with a faculty of more
than 10,000 serving more than 90,000
full-time, on-campus students as well
as hundreds of thousands of other
students joining us part-time, either
virtually or on campus.

We see schooling as
everything students
experience during
each moment of
their time with us,
and we believe that
lessons are learned
in every one of
those moments.
