The proposal, approved after a nearly seven-hour board meeting that concluded after midnight Tuesday, would make significant changes to the school’s financial procedures and relationship with its for-profit management company. It’s intended to address issues raised by the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board, which on Oct. 13 voted to begin terminating the contract with the nonprofit Community Strategies Inc. to operate Epic One on One, its statewide virtual school. Community Strategies also contracts with Rose State College to operate a second charter school, Epic Blended Charter School, for students in Oklahoma and Tulsa counties.
