(1) Educational Development, Inc with a corporate address of 14653 Airbase Road, Mountain Home, Idaho, lists in Articles of Incorporation filed that John Dino Defazio is "the Incorporator" & the "registered agent"; if its the same guy that has been indicted in San Bernardino County (and a Postmus ally), what is a real estate broker with alleged ties to charter schools in San Bernardino County doing creating an educational business in Idaho?? What money was funding that corporation? What money did it spend? Who did it go to?
(2) Spanky's, LLC (with a mailing address on the Idaho Secretary of State website of 12127 Mall Blvd, Suite A, Victorville and a physical office address of 101 Convention Center Drive, Las Vegas) was started February 2, 2007 & lists a Jessie Flores as the "registered agent" in Idaho with an address of 14653 Airbase Road, Mountain Home, Idaho; if it is the same Jessie Flores that was Postmus' staffer (and later Mitzelfelt's field rep), what was the purpose of this enterprise? Was any of his possible ownership interest disclosed on his FPPC 700 forms?
(3) Wonderful Memories Child Care Center, Inc (with a principal office address on the Idaho Secretary of State website of 930 South 4th Street, Las Vegas, Nevada), shows Jessie Flores as the registered agent at a Mountain Home, Idaho address--incorporation date 7/23/2004. The Jessie Flores is reported as the corporation's director, president & treasurer. If it is the same Jessie Flores that was Postmus' staffer (and later Mitzelfelt's field rep), what was the purpose of this enterprise? Was any of his possible ownership interest disclosed on his FPPC 700 form(s)? Why would a staffer, covering the biggest district in the County, have time for these side treks to Idaho to set up companies suggesting child care services were to be provided? Speaking of time, whose time and money went into this organizational venture ? What was the business of this Investment enterprise? Who was involved? How was it capitalized? What did it spend and on what?
(4) Greater High Desert Investments, LLC was created August 11, 2008 with its initial address of 930 South 4th #150, Las Vegas; the initial registered agent was a William Flores. Also listed as a member or manager of the LLC is the same William Flores; the principle office of the LLC--you guessed it ,Airbase Road, Mountain Home, Idaho; any relationship or involvement of the Jessie Flores working/who worked for Bill Postmus & Mitzelfelt? What was the business of this investment enterprise? Who was involved? How was it capitalized? What did it spend and on what?

Oh Where Oh Where has Mike Ramos gone? Another Charter School Disaster on his Watch?
Gail Fry, a Staff Writer for the Alpenhorn News (San Bernardino County) reported on another scandal possibly in the works involving the Adelanto Charter Academy.
The Alpenhorn News indicated that convicted former San Bernardino County Supervisor and Assessor Bill Postmus and former Assembly Candidate and Hesperia Unified School District Trustee Anthony Riley are people somehow allegedly involved. What is it this time? [the Alpenhorn News reports they/someone allegedly received money from the Adelanto Charter Academy without performing services to earn it?--move over Rex, your cellmates are on the way?].
The Alpenhorn News also says that "implicated in the developing scandal are San Bernardino County Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt’s Field Representative Jessie Flores, Adam Aleman, Charles Steven Cox, and John Dino DeFazio, two of these individuals currently facing criminal charges while a third already pled guilty in another case. All of these individuals are shown in supporting documentation as tied to contracts with the Adelanto Charter Academy ("ACA"), a charter school authorized by the Adelanto School District"... ACA contracted services with Professional Charter Management, Inc., a California corporation in exchange for 15 percent of ACA’s revenue and Educational Development, Inc., an Arizona corporation in exchange for 5 percent of ACA’s revenue. Professional Charter Management, Inc. dissolved December 18, 2010, with its chief executive officer being Mitzelfeldt’s Field Representative Jessie Flores, its chief financial officer John Dino De Fazio and Kari Murdock as its agent for service of process according to records at the California Secretary of State."

(1) The choice of the word "revenue" is nothing less than self incrimination--schools don't generate "revenue"--they spend state tax money--that the State money dedicated to our kids is referred to as "revenue" is insulting;
.
(2) Before we get too excited about another San Bernardino Charter School being used to conduit money to personal, non-educational use, what has happened to the prosecution involving the last Charter School in this County? (and the money lost)??
.
(3) Aren't there statute of limitations problems (is the DA's office on this?? State AG?? or ??)
.
If Educational Development, Inc. dissolved in April 2008 [putting aside the fact that they may have taken money notwithstanding the fact they weren't authorized to take money--e.g. transact business], aren't we at the end of the three year statute for felony prosecutions?
.
(4) When will these charter schools quit being used to bleed our public school dollars for private agendas is what I want to know?
.
The school board members (and their superintendents) are not doing their due diligence cutting checks to suspended companies (if that is what is happening). Isn't there also a defalcation of duty involved? Discretionary immunity may only go so far (as Rex Guttierrez now knows), putting aside the conflict of interest involved by theses school board members getting the support of the machine politicians benefiting from these payments.
.
(5) Recovery idea: Don't the school district buy a public official liability insurance for these board members? If there has been a breach of duty or a violation of a statute, isn't that a covered claim?
