BATON ROUGE, LA (AP) - A study on how to launch Louisiana's first online charter schools is off to a rocky start amid controversy over the panel doing the review and access to its meetings.
The Virtual Education Study Group was formed last month by the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Penny Dastugue of Mandeville, a member of both the board and the study group, told The Advocate the makeup of the study panel is too narrow and not what the board envisioned.
Dastugue said earlier suggestions by state Department of Education officials were not carried out, including the addition of members who would give state officials a national view of online charter schools.
She said she wants to reopen the issue when the state board meets in December.
