It is interesting, as I received this message about an hour before Michigan lifted is limits on cyber charter schools – effectively opening up a whole new, practically unburdened market to K12, Inc.

Anyway, this is an interesting site to poke around on – as you can find out a lot about K12, Inc. as a company (and since they don’t allow much independent research into their activities, it is as good a place as any). I’ve had an entry in draft format for a while now that was designed to look at the corporate side of K12, Inc. and what we can learn from a K-12 online learning perspective by the public information they have to file with shareholders and the SEC. I guess this is why I should probably find some time to complete that entry sooner, rather than later.
