Benji's Special Educational Academy

Benji's Special Educational Academy Independent School District (or Benji's Academy Charter School) is a state charter school with two campuses (including Benji's II) in the Northside district of Houston, Texas, near the Fifth Ward. The school covered grades Pre-Kindergarten 4-12. As of 2010 the school is defying an order to close from the Texas Education Agency.

History

The school was founded on May 8, 1981 by Theaola Robinson, who serves as the executive director and founder of Benji's Academy. Her son, Benjajuain "Benjie" [sic] Chandler, was diagnosed with some brain damage at age three. According to Robinson, she became frustrated when she did not find any satisfactory schools that would help her son succeed. Therefore Robinson established the school. In November 1998 the school received a charter from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to serve grades PreK through 12.

The TEA board, appointed by TEA commissioner Robert Scott, voted to close Benji's on Monday September 13, 2010 because, according to the board, Benji's was almost bankrupt. According to Debbie Ratliffe, a TEA spokesperson, Benji's had $800 in the bank, with $85,500 owed to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), $350,000 owed to two banks, and additional debts owed to the Texas State Teacher's Retirement System. Robinson defied the state's order to close her school and continued operations. According to Houston City Council member Jarvis Johnson, 400 of the school's 500 students attended classes on Wednesday September 15, the day that the TEA's order took effect. The school demanded that the TEA release funds that, according to Benji's, were improperly withheld from the school. On Friday September 17 the school's bid for the release of the funds failed.

All You've Got To Do Is Fall In Love

Wouldn't it be sweet
If you could be in love with me
The way that I'm in love with you
It's so easy to do
All you've got to do is fall in love
All you've got to do is fall in love
All you've got to do is fall in love with me (x2)
And everyday you don't, it's wasted
And every night alone, it's your fault
The sweetest lips I've ever tasted
The only lips I'll ever want
All you've got to do is fall in love
All you've got to do is fall in love
