LEASE LOCKS CHARTER SCHOOL TO CONVICTED FELON: Bay City Academy's "Farragut Schoolhouse" Lease Agreement Paying Off Steven Ingersoll's Delinquent Mortgage...With Your Money!

 

 

 

Bill DiSessa, a spokesman with the Michigan Department of Education, said the state isn't concerned about Ingersoll being the landlord of the charter school buildings. 

“There is some irony in there, given the circumstances, but we still approved the plan,” DiSessa said. “As long as no management company folks involved with Smart Schools are involved, then we're OK.”

“We disclosed that information with the state superintendent and they are well aware that we are still obligated by our lease agreement,” said Brian Lynch, who runs Mitten Management, the school's management company. 

Lynch said his management company is negotiating with Ingersoll about the future of the lease agreement. He declined to comment on the nature of those negotiations or any details of the lease agreement.
