Board, founder of Agora Cyber Charter resign
By Martha Woodall

The board of the embattled Agora Cyber Charter School in Devon has bowed to pressure and, as part of a settlement agreement, resigned en masse.
During a special meeting last night, the board also voted to cut all ties with veteran educator Dorothy June Brown, who founded the school in 2005 and owns a management company the board had hired.
Brown - who sat quietly at the back of the room and observed while the board, before resigning, approved a series of resolutions cutting her off from a school she had created and had helped run - said in a brief interview that she was "very pleased" with the terms of the settlement.
She declined to comment further and did not address the board.
Agora provides online instruction to more than 5,500 students in their homes across the state.
The actions taken last night meet the key conditions that the Pennsylvania Department of Education set in June for Agora to maintain its operating charter.

What about her others schools? Shouldn't she have to cut ties with all of them? If she's corrupt at one school why wouldn't she be at all? Or do I question too much, I don't want her to sue me.
