Audit of online education funds a necessity

The Coloradoan:

It all seemed like a good idea at the time: give students an option to attend school online rather than through traditional bricks-and-mortar institutions.

The concept launched in Colorado in 1995 was intended to help at-risk students who struggle in traditional settings and to provide a choice for students and parents looking to reap more from their educational experiences.

Here in Poudre School District, its online school, the Global Academy, is controlled with much the same accountability as other PSD schools, including regular audits and monitoring for achievement and standardized testing.
