» SunRise Academy, which runs two private schools in Northwest Washington, has been paid more than $7.5 million since fiscal 2006. The school’s founder, Charles Emor, is awaiting sentencing after being convicted for participating in a stolen computer ring.

» Just A Mite, Inc., a Christian special education center in Southeast, was paid nearly $1.6 million in the past 16 months. According to a school attendance audit, Just A Mite enrolled two students last year. Just A Mite Director Morris Dickerson said enrollment fluctuates and that he has “probably 13” children under his care. He can’t explain why he would be paid at such a high rate for just a few children.
