The Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow is challenging how Ohio tallied student participation to determine the publicly funded e-school was overpaid. Ohio already started recouping $60 million from the 2015-16 school year, and ECOT has been running out of money. That hearing officer is recommending the state Board of Education move to recoup the $19 million, too. She blames state officials and ECOT’s sponsor, the Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West, for the predicament. ECOT argues that officials wrongly changed how they tallied student participation, but the state says ECOT didn’t sufficiently document that participation to justify all of its funding.
