The school is paying $636,000 a year in rent under the terms of a 20-year lease. The Controller's Office notes that over the life of the lease, the school is scheduled to pay about $12 million to the nonprofit by 2023, though the 10-year mortgage is scheduled to be paid off in 2014. Lisa Mathewson, a lawyer for Joyner and the nonprofit, said she could not comment on reports she had not seen. She did say Joyner's role with the school and the nonprofit "was fully disclosed." A source with knowledge of the nonprofit Joyner founded in 1984 said Joyner had received no compensation from it for the last 12 years.
