flag $25M from San Diego charter school fraud recovery will fund student mental health and wellness via SDCOE HeartSpire.

flag $25 million in recovered funds from a major San Diego charter school fraud case will support K-12 students across the county through the SDCOE HeartSpire initiative, a seven-year program expanding mental health, safety, wellness, and educational resources. flag The money comes from fines tied to a scheme involving "A3 charter schools" that falsely claimed student enrollments to collect state funding, earning up to $4,000 per student without providing full education. flag Prosecutors called it one of the largest education frauds in U.S. history, leading to 11 convictions and over $280 million in recovered funds. flag The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the allocation, which will benefit students and families countywide.
