Was it ever any doubt that charter school IDEA’s former CEO and co-founder JoAnn Gama would win a settlement with her former employer when she filed a lawsuit in November 2022, claiming discrimination?
So I’m on the fed’s website, Pacer.gov, looking at the lawsuit filed this month by IDEA’s former CEO and co-founder JoAnn Gama, and I have to think, she does indeed have a legitimate case. If I were IDEA, I’d want to settle with her as opposed to taking the case to trial.
The continuing IDEA Public Schools (charter school) legal saga continues as one reads its court response to a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by its former chief financial officer, Californiabased Wyatt Truscheit, this past August, less than a month after he resigned from the charter.
U.S. Democrat congressman from Wisconsin, Mark Pocan, sent a letter to the U.S. Education Department, posing questions about a multi-million-dollar federal grant that had recently been awarded to IDEA.
Did IDEA Public Schools CEO and Co-Founder Tom Torkelson’s big-spending, high-flying ways finally catch up with him, or was it simply his time to walk away from the charter-school empire he helped found 20 years ago?
