BlueSky Online School., a leading Minnesota online high school, today announced an Administrative Law Judge has recommended the school’s contract NOT be terminated — something the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) has pursued for more than one year. Based on the evidence and expert testimony received during a three-day hearing in September, the judge found no “major” or “repeated” violations of the law.
The findings of fact and conclusions of law issued by the judge also noted several errors in MDE’s evaluation of graduation credits, and found the process was predicated on an unpromulgated rule. In fact, MDE witnesses testified they “made up” the procedure from pieces of other processes, and the judge found there was no “certainty and clarity for it to be fair.”
