BAKER, La. – Students at Impact Charter are now receiving a crash course in real-life chaos, courtesy of their operator: a company hilariously named Education Explosion—which apparently took its name quite literally.
The school, now facing eviction, is scrambling to find space for 442 students after months of unpaid rent. Why? Because the former CEO of Education Explosion, Chakesha Scott, allegedly detonated the budget on first-class flights, luxury Airbnbs, spa treatments, and “business research” trips that included no actual receipts—unless you count the eviction notice.
Instead of math and science, students are now mastering Emergency Relocation 101, Budget Black Holes, and The Art of Watching Adults Implode.
“This is what innovative education looks like,” one sarcastic teacher muttered while boxing up textbooks. “Blow up the budget, abandon accountability, and call it a learning opportunity.”
Parents are furious, board members are finger-pointing, and Education Explosion has yet to issue a statement—possibly because it’s still sifting through airline miles.
And while students may not finish the year in the same building, they’ll graduate with firsthand knowledge of what happens when your school is run like a Groupon-funded Ponzi scheme.
Impact Charter now joins the elite list of schools where the biggest lesson comes from the adults in charge—specifically, what not to do.
