The Ohio attorney general's office has agreed to review concerns raised by the Ohio Federation of Teachers (OFT) about the legal status and operation of the Ohio Council of Community Schools (OCCS), a charter school sponsor. Tom Mooney, president of the OFT, said "We just have a lot of questions because it gets back to the accountability question. How is the Ohio Council of Community Schools accountable to voters, taxpayers, and the thousands of kids across the state in charter schools?" Mooney said one of his main concerns was how people are appointed to the OCCS, which was created by the University of Toledo when it decided to stop sponsoring charter schools. Some of the members of the board of the OCCS were selected by Allison Perz, Executive Director of the council. With 39 charter schools under its sponsorship and supervision, the council is the second-largest sponsor of charter schools in Ohio.
