Mother Sues The State Over School Funding And Virtual Classes
INDIANAPOLIS A mother of two kids at charter schools in Indianapolis is suing the state over school funding.
Letrisha Weber contests in a lawsuit filed this week that the state is is overstepping its rulemaking authority by enforcing a state law that says schools that are offering in-person classes but are also requiring some students to attend school virtually from home, will get only 85-percent of their full funding per student that is not at school in person.
“When virtual schools, which are public schools as well, are funded at 85 cents on the dollar, compared to brick-and-mortar schools, there’s a huge discrepancy,” she told WISH-TV.
