State Virtual Charter School Board Considering Epic Settlement

The Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board will hold a special meeting Monday afternoon to discuss Epic Charter School's settlement agreement. If approved, it should be the final step to cancel Epic's termination hearing.

Last week, Epic approved a settlement proposal and that was sent to them by the state virtual charter school board.

In it, a list of changes with the hopes of making Epic ultimately more transparent.

It includes making spending information from the Epic Learning Fund more visible to the public starting on July 1.

Changes are also planned for Epic Youth Services, a private company who previously managed school personnel. Now, all personnel will report to the superintendent and board, and Epic Youth Services will no longer be financially managing the school.

The discussion over Epics settlement agreement is the only item on Monday's virtual charter school board's agenda. The meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Monday.
