Michael School recently received a $5,125 grant from the Catholic Foundation of the Diocese of Norwich and will be using it for tuition scholarships and to purchase new language arts textbooks for middle school students.

Principal Doris Messina said the school has received grants from the foundation in the past and that the school’s administration finds them vital for providing materials and programs that could not be funded in the budget. “The foundation is very generous and I know that some schools get an even larger tuition grant than we do because there are more students who are in need in those communities.”

Although the grant amount varies from year to year, depending on the need, Messina said it’s usually somewhere around $5,000 and always includes a portion for tuition grants.

“We have some parents in our school who struggle to pay their children’s tuition, so the tuition grant is very beneficial to those who need the extra money to get their student through school,” she said.

In total, the Catholic Foundation distributed $290,788 among grant applicants who hail from Diocesan ministries, schools, programs and parishes throughout the four counties that comprise the Diocese Middlesex, New London, Tolland and Windham.

Looking to move on from a troubled past, Newpoint Pinellas High has one year to prove itself viable as Pinellas Westcoast Academy High School.

Clearwater charter high school opts out of auto-renew contract with management company

That company was indicted last month by an Escambia County grand jury accused of fraudulently billing schools for supplies, equipment and services with federal start-up grant funds for charter schools and laundering that money.

The school blames Newpoint for the circumstances that led to a one-year renewal instead of a typical three- to five-year renewal, mainly the school’s “deteriorating financial condition.” The school’s $468,057 deficit triggered the school to work with the district to develop a “corrective action plan” to send to the Florida Department of Education.

The district’s charter school director, Rick Wolfe, explained at the board meeting that Newpoint Pinellas High has a different board than three other Pinellas charter schools formerly operated by Newpoint: Windsor Preparatory Academy and East Windsor Middle Academy in St. Petersburg, and Newpoint Pinellas Academy, a middle school that shares the same strip mall site as Newpoint Pinellas High.

“This school is in a very different situation,” Wolfe told board members, referring to the financial, governance, curriculum and exceptional student education services that led to issuing 90-day termination notices to the three other schools last month. This leaves Newpoint Pinellas Academy in limbo, however district officials say financial concerns still dog the school.

The two boards have agreed to transfer the academy over to Newpoint Pinellas High’s board so the school can serve as a feeder into the high school.
