爱达荷的虚拟学校计划面临审查, 不论每个学生在各种不受管制的物品上支出1,700美元到1,800美元。
Idaho’s virtual school program faces scrutiny over unchecked spending of $1,700–$1,800 per student on varied, unregulated items.
Idaho的考绩办公室的一份新报告揭示了人们对Idaho家庭学习学院(IHLA)如何在补充学习基金中使用每位学生1,700美元至1,800美元缺乏监督的严重关切。 补充学习基金用于从技术和体育教育到电子游戏、厨房设备甚至私立学校学费等项目。
A new report by Idaho’s Office of Performance Evaluations reveals significant concerns over the lack of oversight in how Idaho Home Learning Academy (IHLA) uses $1,700 to $1,800 per student in supplemental learning funds, which are spent on items ranging from technology and physical education to video games, kitchenware, and even private school tuition.
报告强调了三个服务提供者之间政策不一致、没有正式审计和没有明确的州资金使用法,促使州长布拉德·利特尔(Brad Little)和州官员将这种情况称为“动荡 ” 。 尽管国际人道主义法在家庭及其成本节约模式中很受欢迎,但报告对问责制、课程监督以及向虚拟学校提供比传统学校更多的每名学生资金的供资模式提出了警告。
The report highlights inconsistent policies among three service providers, no formal auditing, and no clear state laws governing fund use, prompting Governor Brad Little and state officials to call the situation “troubling.” Despite IHLA’s popularity among families and its cost-saving model, the report raises alarms about accountability, curriculum oversight, and the funding formula that gives virtual schools more per-student funding than traditional schools.
