For the first time since the charter school movement began, the Utah State Charter School Board moved Thursday to shut down an operational school.
The vote to revoke the Beehive Science & Technology charter, a state contract that grants the independently run school public education dollars, was unanimous.
Beehive's troubles came to the board's attention in July 2009, when a former board member accused the school of having clandestine ties to a controversial Turkish Muslim preacher.
Fethullah Gülen, who doesn't recognize al-Qaida as a terrorist organization, was exiled from Turkey in 1998 for reportedly working to overthrow the secular government. His international network of schools, universities and businesses — known as the Gülen Movement — has been accused of promoting the preacher's agenda.
While the State Charter School Board concluded Beehive was innocent of preaching Turkish nationalism, their investigation revealed a tangled web of troubling business practices.
