Harmony Community School, a Cincinnati area charter school, has filed a countersuit against Cincinnati Public Schools alleging the district has improperly "flagged" some Harmony students, causing the charter school to lose state funding for those students. The district filed a suit last year against the school alleging that it had operated illegally. The district said the school was not entitled to some of the funds it received and that a repayment of $3.5 million was required. In the recent countersuit, Harmony denies the district's allegations and charged the district with improperly flagging some of its students, causing the school to lose some state funding. Cincinnati Public Schools "in its need for funds in a shrinking district, has left no tactic unturned in its desperate need to fund schools that students are fleeing," said Harmony attorney James Callender.
