Inspire is a statewide network of online charter schools that primarily serve home school students. Advertisement. Inspire schools have exploded in enrollment since the network began more than five years ago.
At the beginning of last school year, Inspire schools expected to take in roughly $285 million in state revenue. Inspire’s founder, Herbert “Nick” Nichols, created the Inspire schools through his corporation, Provenance, which was then called Inspire Charter Schools.
In the lawsuit, Granite Mountain Charter School , which is based in San Bernardino County, is alleging that its parent corporation, Inspire District Office — also known as Provenance and formerly known as Inspire Charter Schools — moved $70 million in and out of Granite Mountain’s bank account during the last school year.
It was later revealed in an independent audit that he had received more than $1 million in payroll advances from various Inspire schools, on top of about $380,000 in annual salary. Advertisement.

An Inspire-affiliated charter school is suing its parent corporation, alleging it stole millions of state education dollars from the school’s accounts and that it transferred the school’s money to other entities without the school’s knowledge or permission. An Inspire official says the allegations are false and will be fought in court.
