There are aspects about the Epic curriculum that the Plaintiffs like and see as essential to their education and there are aspects about their private educational program that the Plaintiffs like and see as essential to their education, there is simply a disagreement between the parties on what Oklahoma law says about dual enrollment and students ability to enjoy both aspects of the public vs private education at the same time.
The only reason we have been told for the unenrollment of the Plaintiffs from Epic was their dual enrollment status, that is it, nothing more. There are no allegations that any public property is being used to benefit the private educational programs Plaintiffs are participating in. There are no allegations that any of the Plaintiffs were receiving special treatment or modified Epic curriculums in order to participate in the private educational program. There are no allegations that any public funds or funds from Epic were being diverted to any of the private educational programs the Plaintiffs are participating in, on their behalf or otherwise. There are no allegations that any of the families in this Declaratory Judgment action were using Epic as a way to generate income, which admittedly would violate the Oklahoma Charter Schools Act. While we understand there are some caveats to this, none of those caveats apply to any of the students that are Plaintiffs in this matter.
