What was the state鈥檚 largest online charter school has lost another round in court. It鈥檚 another blow to ECOT founder Bill Lager, to pay back $60 million to the state.
The Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow asked the Ohio Supreme Court to take up an appeal on a claim that the state violated open meetings laws when it decided to claw back millions of dollars from the now defunct e-school. But the justices said they won鈥檛 take up the case.
That leaves standing a lower court ruling that upheld the board鈥檚 vote because it was acting in a quasi-judicial function.
This latest decision by the high court follows when it rejected ECOT鈥檚 argument that it was improper to base the school鈥檚 funding formula on actual student attendance rather than enrollment figures alone.
