The TIC Loses.

Just became aware of this story.

A judge has handed a victory to virtual schools and the parents who use them to school their children at home -- and a defeat to the state's largest teachers union.

The ruling stemmed from a union lawsuit charging that Wisconsin Virtual Academy violated state law depending on parents to educate their children, rather than state-certified teachers who help students access the online curriculum and complete their assignments.

I remember Gregg Underheim talking about this story when he was running for the State Superintendant of Schools. The comment I recall most vividly was how the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) was named as co-defendant and then the DPI turns around and files an amicus brief in support of WEAC's suit. Rose Fernandez has a WI Conservative Digest article on the case (old article but gives a good overview of the situation).
