"Millions of Dollars in Taxpayer Funds Flow to Private Companies Through Virtual Schools, Survey Reveals.

The survey, conducted by Idaho Education News, has raised concerns about the transparency and accountability of these publicly-funded schools, which are increasingly popular as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the state continues to grapple with the financial implications of virtual education, the findings of this survey are likely to spark a heated debate about the role of private companies in the education system."
