I'm sorry, but this is just a big scheme to line Djoniba's pockets. Djoniba has known that the school would close for several months--a year actually--, and only announced it at the very end to gather sympathy and support. The owner has wanted him out for years. Djoniba is not struggling financially. He owns several houses in Harlem and the Bronx,(http://a836-acris.nyc.gov/Scripts/DocSearch.dll/PNameResult)
and is able to go on trips while 4 of his 6 kids attend private school Economic crisis my ass-- he is loaded and spends the money on his personal business projects.
