Controversy Surrounds Oklahoma's Approval of State-Funded Catholic Charter School.
The Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board's vote to approve state sponsorship for St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School may be invalid due to the ineligibility of newly installed member Brian Bobek. The state Attorney General's Office believes Bobek is ineligible to serve on the board until November, but an email to that effect was not received by the board's chairman and executive director until after Bobek cast the deciding vote. The email stated that Bobek's vote was invalid, and the vote may be challenged.
