Dr. Tammy Stephens and Unpaid C-SEP Wages

The Trick: Services Rendered but Wages Denied

Many of you may be wondering why C-SEP has undergone a recent transformation. Its logo has changed, its website has changed look and domains, the previous email account lay idle, and on-demand lessons have been removed. This is not a rebranding, but rather Dr. Tammy Stephens refusing to pay me money she owes across two ventures. Combined, she owes me $95,000, and has given every indication that she is not going to pay.

As some of you may know, I am Tammy's biological brother. I have worked remotely behind the scenes with C-SEP for nearly a decade and with BoscoK12 for nearly five years. Concerning C-SEP, T. Stephens agreed to compensate me based on its income in exchange for my providing remote support. My responsibilities included, but were not limited to, creating and managing the C-SEP website; developing training resources and handouts; promoting and administering paid trainings; assisting with peer-reviewed journal articles; billing; managing emails; and generating certificates.

I was told that my earnings were being deposited into a U.S. bank account and would be available upon request. For C-SEP services, I am owed more than $20,000. Despite making multiple requests for payment over the past several months, I have not received the funds. Sadly, some of the amount at issue was contributed by Dr. Edward Schultz.

In addition, as explained below, Tammy also owes me a BoscoK12 buyout of $75,000. These are the scary facts that have let to C-SEP undergoing changes and they give a window into the true character of my sister!

While T. Stephens is a master maniupulator of narratives, these are the general facts: I was invited by her to work for C-SEP and BoscoK12; We mutually agreed to the terms for both ventures; I worked faithfully and deligently for both companies for many years; the arrangement was ended by T. Stephens when I asked for compensation; she now refuses to pay me according to the terms agreed; All I want is what was promised to me and what I rightfully earned for my service!

Trick No.2: Unjust Removal from BoscoK12 by Dr. Tammy Stephens and other majority stakeholders

When BoscoK12 was launched approximately five years ago, T. Stephens and Stewart Pisecco offered me a 5% founder’s share in exchange for my full-time assistance with the project. After five years of work, the product completed a soft launch in 2025 and subsequently went to market. At that point, I asked to be added to the BoscoK12 payroll, as other stakeholders were already receiving compensation. I was repeatedly told that the company did not have sufficient funds. After further discussions, I was offered $5,000 per year. I declined that amount, and in the spring of 2026, my access to BoscoK12 accounts was blocked without reason or advance notice. I was subsequently excluded from the company.

To clarify my position regarding my ownership interest, I presented the BoscoK12 stakeholders with several options. T. Stephens selected an option to purchase my 5% interest for $75,000 in exchange for my confidential and orderly departure from the company. I agreed to that buyout on June 1, 2026.

Despite that agreement, the buyout has not been completed. I believe efforts are now being made to assume control of my 5% interest without providing the agreed-upon payment. The other BoscoK12 stakeholders are aware of my claimed ownership interest.

This, unfortunately, is not the only questionable conduct that I have personally observed. I believe prospective users may reasonably want to know the true culture of the company. The company’s majority stakeholders have indicated that legal action could result from my disclosing certain information, including information they may characterize as defamatory. Nonetheless, here's your treat: the videos below provide some insight into the product, its development, its representatives, the company’s internal culture, and the way the business was managed during the rollout from late 2025 through early 2026 as I witnessed firsthand. I refer to these accounts as a “Behind the Scenes Tour.” I hope viewers will carefully consider the information when making decisions in the future.

What You, A Potential Customer, Should Know

Legal Threats to Ensure My Silence

Yet Districts, Users, and Taxpayers have a Right to Know

Rather than pay me what is owed, T. Stephens and S. Pisecco have wasted time and resources threatening legal action against me if I disclose information or "defame" them, C-SEP or BoscoK12. Nonetheless, I believe that it is in the public's interest to know the true character of individuals that are running businesses that serve the educational community and profits from private and public tax dollars! The following slides provide examples of questionable characteristics.

Unprofessional Behavior

Examples include:

I am being denied C-SEP wages, for services already rendered over 8 years; I have been wrongfully pushed me out of BoscoK12 for no legitimate reason, without warning and without explanation; T. Stephens has purposefully manufactured a (legal) dispute for both C-SEP and BoscoK12 because she is reluctant to pay me the $95,000 total she owes (for my share in BoscoK12 and C-SEP compensation); She used her position of authority in BoscoK12 to have colleagues close my work accounts without legitimate reason, thereby making them complicit in my being pushed out of BoscoK12; Majority BoscoK12 stakeholders are complicit in my unjust removal; Despite selecting the terms of my silent departure, T. Stephens has not honored our arrangements in full and in a timely manner; BoscoK12 majority stakeholders are purposefully leveraging their wealth and position of authority to force me to engage in a legal dispute because they knows that I do not have the financial means to challenge them; Majority stakeholders will not accept responsibility for their actions (wrongly pushing me out, not meeting their obligations); I am denied dignity or respect because I am forced to repeatedly request, explain, negotiate, plead, rationalize and demand that T. Stephens honor the terms and conditions set;

Greed

Some Examples:

Rather than pay me exactly what is owed and what was agreed to, T. Stephens continuously denies and/or tries to negotiates a reduction of the amount for her own financial benefit; Both T. Stephens and majority BoscoK12 stakeholders have profited for years from my labor, and yet refuse to pay me for services rendered in the past; I have made it clear for one year that I need money, and despite being owing me money, I have received 0 dollars to date; T. Stephens is holding some C-SEP money that was contributed by Dr. Schultz for services rendered; Despite my loyal service and my meeting all the tasks and conditions set for both C-SEP and BoscoK12, T. Stephens and majority stakeholders in BoscoK12 are laying the groundwork for a (false) defamation case against me to silence me and/or deny me compensation owed; T. Stephens demands things that she does not own and/or has never paid for (e.g., my website hosting account); For seven years, I have covered the cost of the C-SEP website and never been compensated;

Dishonesty

Some Examples:

T. Stephens and majority stakeholders in BoscoK12 made promises to me (of payment for services for C-SEP and a founders share in BoscoK12) that they are seeking to ignore, nullify and/or void for no legitimate reason; Neither T. Stephens nor other majority stakeholders will take responsibility for wrongdoing (i.e., unjustly pushing me out of BoscoK12, not ensuring that I receive my compensation); Rather than pay the debt/compensation she owes me for C-SEP and BoscoK12, T. Stephens has engaged in a campaign of deny, delay, and deflect since June 1, 2026; T. Stephens and BoscoK12 representnatives falsely insinuate that I am slandering them when I share truthful information; T. Stephens falsely attempts to create doubt as to the precise details of the agreements and conditions established between us concerning BoscoK12 and C-SEP; T. Stephens has told me for years that more than $20K for my C-SEP work was set aside in a bank account and was available to me whenever I ask—I have asked, yet I have not received a cent;

Self-Centered / Egotistical

Some Examples:

T. Stephens is shafting her own brother for no obvious reason aside from personal gain; T. Stephens tries to depict herself as the innocent, righteous victim in emails and documentation while conveniently ignoring the fact that her decisions and actions are the reason that we are engaged in this dispute; She claims entitlement when she is wronged, but takes no responsibility for the wrongdoing that she perpetrates (e.g., It was acceptable for her to delete my data, but I owe her when I delete hers); She is offended and suggest defamation because I publicly identify her negative characteristics and qualities in a blanket email to BoscoK12 employees; Neither T. Stephens nor other majority stakeholders consider my interests or needs despite my years of loyalty and hard work; T. Stephens acts as if I have wronged her when I ask for her to make good on the promises that she made (after she pushed me out); She is offended or feels her reputation is threatened when I publicly announce that I made important contributions to C-SEP and BoscoK12—which I did, and have documentation of; Rather than taking responsibility for the crisis she created and settling this dispute forthwith, T. Stephens refocuses attention on herself (e.g., I should be grateful for all that she has done; She is the reason that I pursued an education); T. Stephens displays no interest in my wellbeing (financially or otherwise) because I am no longer profitable to her;

Lack of Morals

Some Examples:

T. Stephens and majority BoscoK12 stakeholders have made promises that they have not kept; T. Stephens lied when she repeatedly promised that whenever I needed the C-SEP money, I only needed to ask; T. Stephens and majority stakeholders have failed to take responsibility for pushing me out of BoscoK12 and have not modified their behavior to redeem their reputation; T. Stephens and other stakeholders pretend to care about their reputation, but they do not behave in a way that would demonstrate the reputable qualities they claims to possess; None of these individuals have shown empathy or interest in my circumstances or needs (e.g., pushing me out of the company for no reason, failing to forward money owed despite knowing that I am broke); These individuals twist facts to their benefit at the expense of others (e.g., raising questions about the existence of agreements; raising questions about the terms of those agreements); They use their position of authority and superior financial resources to strong-arm others (e.g., force me to negotiate for compensation that I have already worked for, requiring employees to become complicit in wrongdoing perpetrated against a colleague); All appear to lack the courage to do what is right, regardless of the circumstances (creating excuses, blaming others for why they are not upholding their end of the bargains, ignoring);
