A Hamilton County Superior Court Judge denied multiple request to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks more than $154 million from people tied to two defunct Indiana online charter schools.

The Hamilton County Superior Court heard arguments Wednesday on multiple motions to dismiss Attorney General Todd Rokita’s claims against people and companies with ties to the online public schools.

Indiana is seeking more $154 million from individuals and businesses with ties to Indiana Virtual School and Indiana Virtual Pathways Academy, online public schools that closed two years ago amid allegations that they bilked the state of millions by inflating their enrollment.

Indiana wants Daleville Community Schools to repay $2.2 million in state funds connected to the inflated student enrollment at two shuttered virtual schools the district authorized.

An investigation by the Indiana State Board of Accounts says a quest to maximize profit at two virtual charter schools led its leaders to inappropriately collect more than $68 million in tax dollars by inflating student enrollment numbers for years.

Tuesday night the board of directors who run two scandal-plagued virtual charter schools planned to hold a public meeting to discuss its closure. But what took place, leaves more questions than answers.

The Daleville Community Schools Board unanimously voted to revoke the charters for the Indiana Virtual Schools and Indiana Pathways Virtual Academy.

Teachers at Indiana Virtual School and Indiana Virtual Pathways Academy won't be paid for the work they did between July 15 and Aug. 15.

The attorney for two virtual charter schools alleged to inflate student enrollment and received millions of dollars in overpayments from the state, says new evidence will prove the schools did nothing wrong.

Two virtual schools being investigated by the state could close as early as this September. The school district that authorizes the schools began the process of revoking their charters at a special meeting Thursday night.
