In regards to Supes Academy -
When I wor...Hi Mike <br /><br />In regards to Supes Academy -<br />When I worked in Venture Capitalism they would create these bridge loans which would allow for their friends or "so called investors" to move their money into - Then out of no where there would be this company that was suddenly created and they would have meetings to run the price of the company up and then move all this money into buying this company with the money from this bridge loan so in turn it would get their investors a kick back of the profits - I just feel like this Supes Academy is a business front for moving money of some sorts. Where did the $20 million come from and from who did come from too? At the last school board meeting David said that there was no money in CPS so where did $20 million come from?<br /><br />http://thenotebook.org/may-2005/051149/cashing-vallas-model - In this article it explains the connection with Solomon and Vranas (Tom Vranas works at the 1215 Washington Ave office in Wilmette for Supres Academy) And John Vranas own Vranas Ventures which is here in Chicago.<br />The SolTyra website “case study” page said December 2004 was the launch date of the site they designed, www.SolomonConsultingInc.com. SolTyra Founder and President Tom Vranas is a member of Solomon Consulting’s “team,” and his company is a “partner” of SCS, according to the SCS website.<br /><br />SolTyra displayed a low-resolution image of the SCS home page, containing a graphic emblazoned with the headline: “Paul Vallas: The Vallas Model,” and what appeared to be a trademark symbol.<br /><br />Underneath, Vallas is quoted: “The key to reforming a district is not only the quality of the district’s programs, but it’s also the ability of the district to finance its reforms.”<br />However, the actual SCS home page viewed in April looked somewhat different than the image displayed by SolTyra. It had omitted the graphic, the headline, specific mention of Vallas’ name, and the quote by Vallas.<br />You need to find a money source and paper trail the story with these guys as you probably already know is in the money trail. I hope you find the information you need keep up the good work! <br /><br />Thanks for your time - Catherine<br />Catherinenoreply@blogger.com
