Kenan is that all the better you can do is just deny? What about the usual fodder..."we might be followers of FG but this is not a Gulen school" "we have no organic connections" "these are baseless claims" or the funniest "you have no scientific proof"
Kenan, let me share a secret with you. Americans don't like to be lied to, you have follwed Hocaefendi's Pearls of Wisdom on "keeping secrets" right out of the play book. You have manipulated a few in the community by bestowing gifts, awards, and trips to Turkey. Not to mention some campaign contributions as well as giving easy grades to a identified few that will promote you and your CULT.
Stop denying and start being honest for a change. Your only chance now is a private school, you cannot expect that to be successful if you continually lie to the community, parents and teachers.
Hopefully you have made arrangements to pay back the money and "stand tall" and not shame yourself or Cemaat any more than you have.
It's over. Move on to your Plan B (if you have one)

Good Day,

What makes you assume that Mr. Sener is not American? What is it that makes you think that anyone with a Turkish surname is a member of Gulen and is not an American? Does it mean that all Americans with a German surname is a Nazis? Does it mean that all Americans with Russian names are Stalinists. Does it mean that all Americans with Arabic last names are terrorists?

We are a great nation of immigrants --- we come from all over the world to create a new life for our families, children and our future.

I have known Mr. Sener for several years and he is simply a man of great integrity, humility and and excellent teacher and administrator. You are making false allegations please stop. It is offensive and inappropriate.

If you wish continue to attack me as you have done numerous times on numerous sites.

Cheers

Great post, Mark. The answers provided are much like the answers they have provided throughout the entire process. at this point they are playin the victim and they are far from the victim. They falsifies documents, claimed ignorance, recruited various legislators by giving them accolades an d publicity. If one were to look into donations to these politicians this year, one would find a signixant support from those at FSA. Check out the Senator from Dustict 56.
The school IS affiliated to Gulen via Grace Management. This is documented in school charter which can be found online.
I had the opportunity to meet with the FSA reps and they were nothing but arrogant an refused to provide answers to very important questions. They felt and it is evidenced that they did not need to be accountable or play by the riules. They were protected because of their political connections. FSA is NOT the poor victim. They have no intentions of paying back the money! Wake up, people. The taxpayers have been victimized by legislators and FSA.

AJC reports "Susan Hale, a Fulton school district spokeswoman, said the system conducted the $39,000 audit because the academy is going from a public charter school to a private school. Hale said the audit's findings have nothing to do with the ethnicity of FSA's staff." hahahahahaha..they keep telling stories..first they said "Audit was a pilot program for Charter schools and FSA was selected for this pilot program" and this audit started about 5 months ago! where FSA had no idea about going private....Dr.Avossa your team is not a good story teller..they make too many mistakes! such as releasing the student names to media. Your stories will catch up with you soon or later.

Javier;
FSA is closed, none of what you say matters or is true.

End of Story...unless of course you and Hizmet want to sue the Fulton Board of Education. Why don't you do that, what paperwork are you willing to give up in discovery. If you file a lawsuit you will have to prove the audit is false and the allegations are false.

I for one would pay money to see the Gulenist go to court and prove they are not who they claim to be and dismiss all the allegations, try to prove the audit was "falty" "bad information" or based on "prejudice".

Go ahead file a lawsuit against the Fulton BOE and the Georgia BOE and see how your lies will be exposed.

Hasta la Vista Javier El Perro!!!!

Yes, MarkMunoz (you racist), the school is closed, then why spend my tax dollars $40,000 to cover Avossa's sorry behind. Just because, he has the education purse, but remember he too is accountable to every cent spent. Now Gulen, do you have any proof, other than the fake websites that you create and provide links too... Yes, we all know that! So to you know, Hasta la vista Javier El Perro!!!!!!

I don’t think there is a serious issue with FSA, its management and relationship with its vendors. But it’s so apparent that FCS has real issues with FSA so they worked with third party legal firm which they arranged and paid 39,000 tax dollars (more than half of the visa processing fee). If this audit is really terrible, law enforcements would have been reacted so far.

What’s wrong with immigrant issues? We are in the middle of North Fulton area, surrounded by the High-Tech companies. They hire many international people from all around the world. Why? Because they can’t find qualified work force that they need. Those people who are working with work visas make our country stronger and stronger every day. Why those foreign teachers can’t work for our kids to educate our kids for those who will be the scientists and engineers of the future? Just like another company in North Fulton, of course FSA may hire international people as FCS did in the past. Maybe we are forgetting one thing: We have to be better than today to have a stronger future.
I don’t think there is a connection between the Gulen / Gulen Movement and Turkish businesses in Turkey. (Check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBfPrUCpuDQ) Persistently, media (and some blogs made by Gulen opponents) is pulling the Gulen and the Movement next to the successfully operated charter schools. Even GBI declared that there is no connection between Gulen Movement and FSA. Why is this obsession then?

Fudging again Peter or is it Hakan or ?

If Gulen has no connection to this school, why does he bother putting up an article on the Fethullah Gulen Web site about your school still trying to deny the authencity of the audit.
Perhaps, it's like Bekir Aksoy explained to Lesley Stahl, he doesn't visit his schools but "enjoys the fruits of his labor" Lesley, "So he does not even visit the schools in his own backyard - Pennsylvania?"
That Charter School in Pennsylvania was called Truebright Science Academy and it too IS NOW DENIED a charter.

Yawn. Peter you must come up with better lies to cover for your lies. IT'S OVER, YOU NO LONGER HAVE A SCHOOL. move on with the plans for your private school after you pay back the loan to Bank of America.

Do you understand that lying in America is unacceptable?

This is why the Gulenists are programed to deny the obvious. Here is F. Gulen's Pearls of Wisdom Sermon. This topic is about "Keeping Secrets" Watch this and tell me if this is not creepy. Not healthy to have all of these lies bottled up. The Gulenists lie so much about their affilation with Gulen that they become emotionally out of control because they really do have a hard time with this. They want to tell the truth, but it is very very difficult for them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkcy95hPkEY

Some lie because they are ashamed of their affilation with Hocaefendi's Cult. I guess I would be too after so many schools have been closed down because of one main reason....................lack of transparency!
Lie out of a lie, and see where it gets you. Play with Tax payer's money and convincing Americans with propaganda that your school is some sort of Academic Excellence is a lie and you know it.

Turkey's education record is one of the worst in international rankings. AND THAT IS NO SECRET.

Dear Mark,

I don't know what made you so angry. I see that you are really interested in this Gulen Movement thing. Even I can say you are obsessed with it. It's not my intention to deal with people here and you are not the person I should address. It's the first time and the last time I am writing regarding your posts.

As a descent citizen of US who lives in Georgia, also, as an observer of this news, I just wanted to share my personal opinions about FSA and about the recent audit report. After seeing your posts right after my comments, I saw your other posts above my post. You have entered multiple posts at different times. Interestingly, your first post was entered at 3:26 AM in a week day. And others follow each other. Also, you can easily confront with people even with Mr. Sener, the one of the nicest people in the world I have met. Are you really here to observe and share your opinions? Even in the morning of a weekday at 3AM? Or, you are one of the bloggers of Gulen opponents out there? It's so obvious you are not here as an observer.

Buenas noches nos de' Dios!

Peter S.
I am not angry I am happy that the truth is out about your school and cemaat.

If you want to win an argument start assuming responsibilty instead of blaming Wells Fargo, the county and State BOE, IAG forensics accountant, Avossa, NY Times, etc., There are plenty of people in the community of Georgia that want you out because you cannot be trusted with money and lack the business professionalism to understand your mistakes and shortcommings (a sign of a successful business)

I don't have to answer to you because I am an American Tax payer that is fed up with paying for your H1-b visas. This audit is the scratch of the surface, wait till the other schools are audited.

You would be getting a lot further by making a statement to the community about your shortcommings, and chalk it up to a learning experience that will be corrected as you move forward with your private school. Talk about a shared responsibility rather than finger pointing the blame to others. After all, it was much of your poor decision making that caused you to be in this terrible situation. You see Peter S. when you lie, you just lie more to lie out of a lie.

If you don't plan on suing all the parties you claim have done you wrong or who were unfair. It is best you move on, ask the community for forgiveness, be sincere.

Change the name of Fulton Science Academy and re market yourselves. All the videos, PR, campaign contributions will not change your status you are CLOSED.

I also think that you are in no position to argue, as your above posts are extremely racist and xenophobic.

Dear Muhammad Khan;
Your school and it's administrators are the problem with their Turkocentric emphasis. Putting my tax dollars into the Gulenist Sponsored Turkish Olympiads, taking the parents and children to Turkey, teaching Turkish cooking. There are plenty of lawsuits and examples of these Gulenist operated schools prejudicial behavior and they are losing in the courts, having to settle before it reaches a court date. Let me correct you on the word "racist" Turkish is an ethnicity, not a race we are all the human race and caucausian. Some Turkish people have a huge asian influence as there ancestors hail from Central Asia Mongolia before they barbarically conquered other lands. Thereby the Turkish people you see today have the blood of conquered lands in them.
Here is your Fethullah Gulen's website specifically talking about Fulton Science Academy's audit issues. The funny thing is why is YOUR school on Gulen's website if you are not a Gulenist operated school? The other interesting thing is they put a picture of their Texas Harmony Science Academy with the article about Fulton Science Academy. You lose America wins, pay your defaulted loan and other money back and move on.
http://www.fethullahgulen.org/press-room/news/4191-todays-zaman-us-charter-school-dismisses-audits-claims-of-financial-wrongdoing.html

Khan says
"the closing of FSA is retarded"

When you lie, steal and mislead American taxpayers how is it retarded?
Ask your attorney, who is fleecing you out of more money if he has a leg to stand on. Again, you spend more money intended for education of children needlessly to an Attorney who will not save your school.
Move on. If "Xenophobia" or "Islamophobia" and playing victim is your only defense you have no causes of action. By saying the school district is guilty of privacy breach because they had the names of the student's that FSA GAVE TO THEM you are wrong.
You can go all over the Internet and UTube and find countless examples of FSA and the Istanbul Center interviewing parents and students of FSA PRINTING THEIR names and asking them "Why Turkish is important for their children to learn"

Who is exploiting who? The chicken before the egg my friend.

Muhammed Khan;
Your school was given a 3 year renewal option but refused it. If you are a "student" at the school, I commend you for having some mature points to ponder. However, I find it hard to believe you are a mere "student"
Tomorrow is your last day 6/30 as a charter.
The decision has been made after months of trying to negiotiate with your board, the county and state BOE, etc., Your school didn't want to negiotiate they wanted to dictate as they do in other countries.
Yes, Georgia is one of the worst states for education and it is equally the worst for CHARTER schools cheating on exams and academics. Read the report by USA Today Reporter Greg Toppo.
You should care about the Turkish Olympiad, you and your fellow students are just a few of the tools used to further the movement. You are no exception, and there is over 8 Turkish Olympiads in the USA that these schools and their front groups sponsor. Then the winners get to go to the big Gulen show in Turkey for the international Gulen Turkish Olympiad. Where this year over 100 countries participated and over 1,000 children at Gulenist operated schools.
This year Erdogan spoke and referenced Gulen and asked for the person responsible for these Olympiads return back to Turkey. Lets see if Gulen will and face the public for his past attempts to overthrow a secular country.

FSA students learning Turkish and the Kolbasti is hardly a measure of success.

Muhammed;

Truly good luck as you continue your education at the private school. Hardly doubt if you will be at the same location since the land is owned by Wells Fargo. Do your school a favor and seek out another location and change the name of the school.

Muhammed;
That is a stretch.
Lets just say it will be remembered for being denied a charter renewal because they couldn't assume responsibilities and lacked transparency with financials.

Needless to say it will go down in history as one of the few charter schools foreclosed on by Wells Fargo Bank.
Your version is only in the minds of a few...shrinking everyday.

Lets see how it works out with the default and other shameful things that will be comming to the surface.

Please do not waste your time arguing with Mark Munoz. Mark, one of several aliases, gets paid to write these attacks against FSA and other charter schools in the US with Turkish administrators. His or her comments are merely racist propaganda. The appalling comments directed at FSA students clearly demonstrate the lack of character this person possesses. Your efforts are better spent focusing on people who matter.

Hey Datch;
You cannot argue with me or anyone else because truth is undebatable. So If I am getting paid to tell the truth about your miserable group that is defrauding Wells Fargo as well as the community of Alpharetta...where would it be that I might be getting these funds? Is everything a "conspiracy theory" to your group? NY Times, USA Today, CNN NEWS, "60 minutes" PBS, etc., ALL credible American news sources are they too getting paid to report the truth?

What appalling comments directed at FSA students are you refering to? The only ones that have exploited them is you and the other school administrators by releasing their names without prior consent to the auditors. Lets not forget how you have flooded the Internet using the children's names and their parents to promote theTurkish Olympiad and the school as some sort of "sick" endorsement of your average school. You promote your school way too much and now are under the microscope by Wells Fargo.
People that matter? You mean like your new landlord Wells Fargo? According to your dribble no one matters ----not even the Fulton County School board and Superintendant. Because they don't go along with your agenda and shut you down they are all insignificant?

Good luck with that private school and creating a hostile environment in Alpharetta, Georgia for your families. Seriously, hope you can pull it off but it isn't looking too good my friend because you have a blabbermouth and can't shut up.

Since when does pointing out certain attitudes, actions and behaviors become racists? The basic fact that that the school cannot handle money and there are questionable finances going on, breaking the law and not getting permits and damaging the environment is a concern. So unless these actions are somehow tied to your DNA your straw-man argument is hardly valid. I am also concerned of the behavior of comming to the comment board pretending to be a student a parent or a teacher that no other student parent or teacher has ever of. Seems fishy to us. Also your parnoid yet delusional beleif that anyone who has an opposing view point from you is somehow getting paid. Laughable. So please tell us and educate us all what mysterious and dark force would pay another to have an opposing view point from you? Enlighten us all please If you are convincing you may have your point. But I think not. With that in mind, with you delusions, paranoia, and incoherent ramblings is another behavior of a person or group that should not handle public funds yet be around kids

Tom Deeb is really wasting his time here coming to the boards when he should be going into that head school board member's office and in his face demanding to know what he did with Tom's money. Somehow Tom does have some sort passionate attachments to this school. So Tom take my advise , man up and get in his face and demand your money back. Sorry to say not just the state of Georgia and Fulton County, the parents who pre paid for a private school you to have been conned and swindled.
