Eva Moskowitz has special access to Schools Chancellor Klein - and support others can only dream of

[tonysam]

Corruption thy name is BloomKLein:

Schools Chancellor Joel Klein often lauds a small
group of Harlem charter schools founded by former
City Councilwoman Eva Moskowitz.

But few New Yorkers are aware of the access
Moskowitz has to the chancellor or the special
support he has bestowed on her program, whose
four schools enroll just 1,300 of the city's more
than 1 million public school students.

...

They show that in addition to Klein's visits,
Moskowitz:

- Secured the chancellor's help last year in landing
a $1 million donation from a private Los Angeles
foundation.

- Got Klein to intervene on her behalf in clashes
she had with his subordinates.

- Boasted to him of organizing parent "armies" to
advocate for Mayor Bloomberg's educational
policies - and of flooding politicians with
thousands of pro-charter school postcards.

Public education is SO screwed in this country.

1. They are all coming out of the woodwork.

Buckets outstretched for goodies. It's sickening.

2. $371,000 a year for managing schools with a total of about 1000 students.

Disgusting. Nearly $400/student just for her "management".

3. Former City Council member Eva Moskowitz makin' a bundle at nonprofit schools

Moskowitz, who makes no secret of her desire to create 40 charter schools across the city and run for mayor some day, raked in $371,000 in salaries in the 2006-2007 school year from organizations connected to her four schools, tax records show.

Those schools, Harlem Success Academy 1, 2, 3 and 4, have an enrollment of about 1,000 pupils, from kindergarten to third grade.


In 2006-2007, she even surpassed John Ryan, the former chancellor of the State University of New York, who earned $340,000 to manage some 70 campuses with nearly 300,000 students.

Needless to say, she left your run-of-the-mill public school principal, with an average annual salary of $124,000, in the dust.

Tax records show in her first year of operation Moskowitz made $85,000 as executive director of Harlem Success Academy, the group that receives DOE money to operate the charter schools.

At the same time, she received $186,000 as chief executive officer of the Success Charter Network, a separate nonprofit that provides "management services" to her schools.

...and $100,000 as an "independent contractor" for Friends of Gotham Charter School, which provides support finances for Harlem Success...
