6/ Although Arkansas set up a hotline and email address for people to report suspected fraud or misuse of EFA funds, parents and educators told ProPublica their concerns were ignored. Here’s what happened when a teacher for a different microschool contacted the state:
Article excerpt: But several complainants told ProPublica that they did not hear from state officials after sharing their concerns. One teacher said she got no response after she emailed in April that students who transferred to her school had been deprived of a “basic education” at the microschool they previously attended, according to state records. She said first and second graders reported that they had spent the majority of their time playing.

Contacted by a ProPublica reporter, she said: “I don’t mind that you are reaching out but it is very concerning and in a way aggravating that I have an investigative reporter reaching out instead of my own state.” She requested that her name not be made public because she works at a different microschool.
