Even in the midst of a court battle with the state to keep their license after they were accused of failing to report a teacher for sexually assaulting a student, a Forsyth County school and childcare center tells Channel 2 Action News that they’ve sold the school.
“The first thing I think of is what is the safety for the children. Are the kids going to be under the same administration and the same guard rails that failed last time?” are the questions Attorney John Bey has after learning that Cornerstone Schools has been sold.
Bey represents two families suing Cornerstone Schools.
“What is going to protect the children from this happening again?” Bey asked.
Channel 2′s Candace McCowan received a statement from the owners of Cornerstone Schools:
“Over the last three to four years, Cornerstone has been approached by numerous prospective buyers. Last year, the Martins determined because of their ages and desire to have some freedom, they would sell to an appropriate buyer. St. John Bosco Academy initiated due diligence about eight months ago, and the Martins ultimately agreed on terms, with the sale being consummated in October 2024.”
