The chairman of the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board is calling this a step forward and a sign for all other virtual public charter schools for the future. The biggest changes under the new settlement will make Epic's finances and operations more transparent, after an audit last year led to accusations of mismanagement of state funding. The agreement includes making spending information from the Epic Learning Fund more visible to the public starting July 1. Changes are also planned for Epic Youth Services, the private company previously in charge of operations. Now, all personnel will report to the superintendent and board and Epic Youth Services will no longer be financially managing the school.
