Spirit of Knowledge Charter School was a public charter school in Worcester, Massachusetts. The school opened in the Fall of 2010 enrolling 156 students in grades 7–9. Julia Sigalovsky started as the school's Executive Director, but resigned at the end of the first school year in 2011.[1] David Chauvette started as executive director halfway through the follwing school year (2012).[2] Paula Bailey started as Executive Director at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year. The charter school had multiple financial problems. After many board meetings, the board of trustees decided to close the troubled school. Many of the financial issues were blamed on Darlene Frederick, the former Director of Business and Operations . The school was also a victim in scam, where they paid over a hundred thousand dollars to buy a new building, though they never got one . The school's students had to move out of the school and now are in other schools within the Worcester Public Schools. Investigation still continues for the school, although the school has closed.
