The founder of a Harlem-born network of nonprofit charter schools once lauded for his “compelling new vision” for public education is headed to prison – for stealing from the very schools he helped launch.
The Democracy Prep Public Schools network, which has its roots in Harlem, now enrolls some 7,100 students in schools across several states, including New Jersey, Louisiana and Texas.The Democracy Prep Public Schools network, which has its roots in Harlem, now enrolls some 7,100 students in schools across several states, including New Jersey, Louisiana and Texas.
The sentencing marked the messy end of a public service career that won Andrew accolades as the leader of taxpayer-backed schools known for achieving high marks in high-poverty neighborhoods, starting with the “flagship” middle school in Harlem in 2006, and later reaching some 7,100 students in communities from Texas to New Jersey. He left DPPS in 2017.
In court papers, prosecutors detailed a complicated scheme aimed at supporting another education venture backed by Andrew – this one in Vermont. The theft proceeds, while under Andrew’s control, also helped the former Bronx High School of Science graduate qualify for a cheaper mortgage on a Manhattan apartment, prosecutors said.Andrew parlayed national acclaim as an education innovator into a position with the U.S.
Andrew wrote DPPS leadership, “every single day that goes by, this situation becomes exponentially more difficult and the ability to pull out of a nosedive becomes harder. So after 24 hours, my monthly salary expectation will go up every day that we’re not under a signed contract.” Prosecutors said the ultimatum didn’t get Andrew rehired either.
