Manatee Schools chairman alleges fraud in Lincoln Memorial Academy case
Manatee County School Board Chairman Charlie Kennedy signed an affidavit last Friday alleging that the School Board relied on falsified evidence when it seized control of Lincoln Memorial Academy, a charter school in Palmetto, in 2019.
Kennedy’s statement resurrects a long-simmering controversy over the legitimacy of a water bill that was used as evidence that poor fiscal management at LMA was putting children at risk.
The city of Palmetto issued a water shut-off notification to the charter school in July 2019 that Lincoln supporters and Kennedy say was cooked up to make the school look mismanaged and to provide the pretext for the district’s seizing control.
