This week, SC Department Of Revenue published the final fundraising totals for 2019 … $4,547,101.10 RAISED … that means $7.5 MILLION is LOST FOREVER!!!

On January 20th, 2020, after weeks and weeks of reporting on (not so) Exceptional SC’s failing fundraising like here and here and here, #FireChadConnelly sent email to parents and school officials bragging that “December was the best fundraising month of 2019” … we were skeptical yet very hopeful for that to be true …

Oh well, we should have known by now that we cannot believe anything #FireChadConnelly says … as the numbers speak for themselves. In March, 1,949,959.72 was raised … in December, 1,007,236.27 … again … no one is buying what #FireChadConnelly is selling …

Now, should we believe that 2nd semester scholarships are going to actually come in March??? By looking at all the numbers we can’t help but wonder … where is the 2nd semester scholarship money is going to come from??? In theory, the 2020 fundraising has started … is the plan to use the 2020/2021 funds for 2019/2020 school year to cover up #FireChadConnelly failures? You know the saying “rob Peter to pay Paul” …?

$8 MILLION “lost” by (not so) Exceptional SC!!!

Well, the final numbers are in for 2020.

Exceptional SC raised “only” $4,045,107.80 (out of the available $12 MILLION) in 2020.

As such … $8 MILLION has been lost forever … AGAIN!!! Exceptional SC “lost” $7.45 MILLION in 2019!!!

THE BANK STATEMENT: We were able to get the bank statements this past week via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

These bank statements revealed (among other things) that $2.1 MILLION was from one donor. Had it not been for the generosity of this one donor … it would have been even more disastrous.

Palmetto Kids FIRST Donor: And no … this $2.1 million donor was not a huge victory for (not so) Exceptional SC. This was a Palmetto Kids FIRST donor we first brought to the table in 2014.

Exceptional SC is still living off all the work the “independent non-profits” did and not adding any new value to the situation.

Nothing has changed for the better …

Independent Non-Profits … just like every other state … is the ONLY solution!!!

Exceptional SC Legal Status EXPIRED … AGAIN!!!

Seriously … can this be happening again???

Granted, I am a tax attorney / CPA … so I think about these things all the time … and one of the VERY FIRST THINGS they teach us “tax people” is BEFORE YOUR CLIENT DONATES TO A NON-PROFIT … check their legal status. If not all in order, and you let your client donate … it could be LEGAL MALPRACTICE!!!

First you check that the non-profit is actually an IRS approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit … and then you check the Secretary of State’s Office to verify the organization’s legal status is current.

(not so) Exceptional SCs Status? EXPIRED … AGAIN!!!

Why, Why, Why??? Remember this from JANUARY 2020 … we mocked the incompetency back then … but no, the #FireTheBoard!!! at (not so) Exceptional SC let their legal status expire AGAIN!!!

Board Malpractice!!!

**Legal Status Expired in January 2020 & AGAIN in December 2020**

This says it all … WE know how to FIX ALL OF THIS … but the (not so) Exceptional SC Board won’t do anything … won’t talk … won’t meet … just blame others. STOP THE INSANITY!!!!
