K12, Inc. Pursues North Carolina Education Funds

K12, Inc.

K12, Inc., [NYSE:LRN] the promoter of virtual education programs, has submitted an application to establish a statewide academic network in North Carolina. If the North Carolina Virtual Academy School is approved, K12, Inc., will have an entree to state and local education agency [school district] funds. A North Carolina student is worth approximately $6,753 according to K12, Inc. business plan application. K12, Inc. expects to enroll 2,750 students in the coming year.

Educations funds cannot be paid directly to for-profit companies, so interested parties create closely-related entities to circumvent the rules.  K12, Inc. intends to register North Carolina Learns, Inc. as its non-profit partner. The financial plan, as outlined in the application, is as follows: North Carolina Learns, Inc., the recipient of state education money then pays K12, Inc. for its services by way of a Educational Products and Services contract.
