Imagine Schools was founded by Dennis and Eileen Bakke with $155 million of the fortune Dennis had earned as chief executive officer of AES Corporation, a global energy provider which he co-founded in 1981.[3]

History

Beacon Education Management was founded in 1996.[4] By 2008, Imagine had grown to 56 schools.[5]

In 2015, Imagine Schools was ordered to pay a $1 million judgment as part of a self-dealing scheme. As part of a complex arrangement, Imagine Schools had negotiated above market rents for its facilities, which it actually owned through a subsidiary.[6]

Peer group

In 2015, Imagine adopted non-profit tax status.[7] Similar organizations are known as charter management organizations (CMOs). Other large non-profits are KIPP (209 schools) and Cosmos.Шаблон:Cn
