While state lawmakers just passed a sweeping reform of the state鈥檚 charter school system, one senator says more can be done to improve online charters.
Democratic Senator Joe Schiavoni of the Youngstown area introduced a bill that would require these e-schools to keep better attendance records, to make their governing boards stream their traditional meetings like school board sessions, and to display their report card score on advertisements.
鈥淚f they鈥檙e proud of the work that they鈥檙e doing they should be explaining what the state鈥檚 grade is at that particular school to attract students,鈥� saidSchiavoni.
Schiavoni says this is partially in response to reports that at least two e-schools got just under a million dollars extra from the state because of bad attendance records.
