Waukesha — Disappointed with enrollment applications and worried about competition, Waukesha School District officials are raising the possibility that they could fully take over the operation of the district’s virtual charter school.

Since the district’s iQ Academy started nearly seven years ago, it has contracted with an outside business to help market and operate the school.

But after the company that the district had been working with for six years was bought by K12 Inc. last year, school officials say that a material component of its contract – that the business operating the school not operate a competing virtual school in the state – has been violated.

In addition, Waukesha administrators say that the other Wisconsin school run by K12 Inc. saw a surge of applications from students throughout the state from the open enrollment public school choice program while the number of applications to iQ Academy remained flat this year.
