'Prime Time' Sanders says Prime Prep Academy students being 'punished'
The state is taking action to shut down Prime Prep Academy, the troubled school co-founded by former Dallas Cowboys star Deion Sanders.
Following an eight-month investigation by Texas Education Agency officials, it was announced Tuesday that TEA commissioner Michael Williams is moving to revoke Prime Prep's charter. The school has until the end of this month to appeal, but News 8 has learned that the revocation decision will be difficult — if not impossible — to reverse.
Prime Prep Academy opened its doors on two campuses in 2012 — an elementary school in Fort Worth and middle and high schools in Dallas.
Immediately after it began operations, questions were raised about improper transfers by athletes. Soon the charter school withdrew from state-sanctioned athletic competition.

Most problematic, we are told, is the revocation of federal school lunch program monies which were allegedly misspent.
