Governor Statement on Bishop Sycamore Investigation

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)?Ohio Governor Mike DeWine today released the following statement regarding the Ohio Department of Education Investigation of Bishop Sycamore High School:

?This report confirms numerous disturbing allegations regarding Bishop Sycamore. There is no evidence that the ?school? enrolled students this year, had a physical location for classes to meet, employed teachers, nor offered any academic program meeting minimum standards.

?Ohio families should be able to count on the fact that our schools educate students and don?t exist in name only as a vehicle to play high school sports. When an Ohio student goes to school, they deserve a quality education to prepare them for success in the future.

?I am today asking Attorney General Yost and other offices with jurisdiction to determine whether the alleged deception by Bishop Sycamore violated any civil or criminal laws. I intend to work with the Department of Education and legislative leaders to implement the recommendations contained in this thorough report.?
