Students Denied School Nurse
Imagine Schools and a subsidiary collected at least $14.4 million in taxpayer dollars last year for their Ohio schools. More than half of the money — $8.9 million – covered rent for long-term leases.
This video clip details a small portion of the October 15, 2014 Columbus Primary Academy School Board Meeting with parents and top officials from Imagine Schools. Parents and staff discuss the lack of a nurse in the school and the potential consequences for students.
74.1 percent of Ohio schools report having at least one student requiring daily skilled nursing care. There are 1,528 full-time school nurses in Ohio, but Imagine Schools chose to not have one at the Columbus Primary Academy.
