The waste of time lawsuit filed by the Diamond R-4 School District against Edison Schools has been settled. Both sides filed a joint motion today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.
Even though The Joplin Globe has yet to write a story on the lawsuit, I would hope the Globe would think enough of Diamond R-4 taxpayers that it would look into the terms of the settlement, plus how money the district spent, especially how much it is paying its lawyers.
As I have pointed out numerous times, even though I am not a big fan of Edison Schools and the whole running schools as businesses (considering the way some American businesses operate, Edison would eventually have to outsource its students to China), Edison has made a considerable profit for every school with which it has operated summer schools, including Diamond. Only Diamond claims to have been cheated, despite its sizable profit. This could be another one of those lawsuits that was settled just to avoid the cost of defending against a frivolous claim.
