Our check against the record

The record does not settle it

Checked against No record can settle this sentence: who deserves credit for an outcome is a judgment, not something the Ohio Department of Education's findings or the Auditor of State's reports record.

The record: Audit search

Context

The Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow, an online charter school, closed in 2018 after the state education department changed how it counted student participation.

Topics: Education, Charter schools.
