Yost Trying To Recover State Money From Two Local Charter Schools

ohioauditor.gov

Central Ohio educators are getting bills from the state for the teaching money that they pocketed. State Auditor David Yost is demanding a charter school operator repay nearly 90-thousand-dollars for a school that never opened.  Yost says the money went to Wendy Marshall to open the Directional Academy in 2013, sponsored by the North Central Ohio Educational Service Center. And Yost says a former administrator and teacher at Sunrise Academy, a private Islamic k-8 school in Hilliard, must repay nearly 200-thousand dollars for services not provided to students. The Republican Yost says the cases highlight continuing probelms with privately operated, publicly funded charter schools.
