A publicly traded
company whose CEO
earned $ 4 million in total compensation for 2014, K12, Inc., backs virtual
charter schools across the country, including California - based CAVA (California Virtual Academy).
In addition to collecting the bulk of the $ 110 million in Connecticut taxpayer funds paid to
charter schools, Achievement First, Inc.
earned its infamy from suspending record numbers of kindergarteners in an apparent attempt to push out children who don't fit the
company's limited definition of appropriate students.
