TAMPA, Fla. — Two months later, former Inlingua Language School teacher Danny Singh is still shocked over the school's sudden closure.
- Inlingua teachers still left without answers 2 months after school's closure
- School shut down due to ongoing bankruptcy lawsuit against franchise owners
Singh taught at the Orlando campus for more than a year before its unexpected closure in November 2018.
“To me, this was a second home and for many of the students this was also a second home.
He's one of the dozens of teachers left without the money they're owed from their former employer.
The school shut down due to an ongoing bankruptcy lawsuit against the franchise owners.
To this day, students have not received reimbursement for tuition either.
“I’ve been going in circles. No one has been able to intervene and help us,” Singh said.
Singh showed us emails from multiple agencies, including the U.S. Department of Labor, telling him there's nothing they can do.
The owner of Inlingua, Maria Cristina Ortega De Marcos, is set to appear in Broward County Courts for the bankruptcy case next week.
“Nobody is representing the teachers and nobody is representing the students at the court trials. We don’t know what’s going to happen,” Singh said.
Now, Singh has this to say, “There needs to be more laws to protect independent contractors. There needs to be more restrictions and laws on private schools.”
The Inlingua school in Washington, D.C. was considering buying some of the shuttered Inlingua centers in Florida.
Bay News 9 has reached out to the school, but has not gotten confirmation.
