COLUMBUS: Ohio’s auditor has ordered a statewide examination of cyber schools’ data collection practices after his office found the state’s largest online charter school lacked adequate systems to track the time students spent learning.
Republican Auditor Dave Yost says the Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow’s inability to reliably capture learning durations puts the school at risk of making financial misstatements under Ohio’s new tracking protocols.
ECOT noted Thursday that its audit was clean except for the duration-tracking issue.
