Statement from Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine on ECOT Ruling

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine issued the following statement today regarding the Ohio Supreme Court’s ruling in Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow v. Ohio Department of Education:

“Today’s Ohio Supreme Court ruling is the result of more than two years of litigation through my office, as well as the efforts of the Ohio Department of Education before that, to hold ECOT accountable. This victory in our state’s highest court removes questions which could potentially slow down or delay proceedings to recover taxpayer dollars. My office will continue our efforts to recover taxpayer dollars from William Lager and other ECOT affiliates. I commend the work of special counsel and attorneys in my office on this case and on the recovery litigation to come.”
