Shift expected in K-12 education - Chris Casey, Greeley Tribune
The usual education issues of funding, test assessments and school choice will be reviewed this legislative session, but a relative newcomer to the scene -- online learning centers -- also will draw scrutiny in the statehouse....

Windels is also expected to propose legislation to tighten oversight of online schools, which have burgeoned in recent years. A recent audit found some schools blur the lines between separation of church and state, fall short on staff background checks, and post chronically low scores on student assessment tests.
