Okay, the cyber school must fit in there somewhere. Doesn't matter where. Because it's results are accepted, it can at the least be said to be acting jointly... the cs gets its funding from? to pay for the computers, hook-ups etc? If it is the DoE that supplies funding, then they are accepting it as a school entity.
