State asking ECOT for specific log-in information

The state’s education department is asking a court to force its largest online school to hand over log-in information. But the e-school known as ECOT says it’s not ready to budge and claims the state has been mishandling their attendance audit for months. ECOT consultant Neil Clark says documents between the Ohio Department of Education and the state auditor’s office show there’s confusion over just what is expected from online charter schools during an attendance audit. The state has been asking ECOT for specific log-in information from students, something that hasn’t been required in the past.
