A group of 16 California teachers filed formal letters of complaint against online charter schools operated by K12 Inc., alleging violations including misuse of public funds and breaches of student privacy rights.
Some of the California Virtual Academies, which enroll about 14,500 students throughout the state, count truant students as present even for multiple days and on a repeated basis, according to a copy of the complaint letters. The letters were sent to the local districts that oversee the online schools, as well as the California Department of Education.
