Wall Street firm Morgan Stanley is still bullish on K12, Inc.<\/p><\/div>\n

Financial firm Morgan Stanley says they aren’t all that worried about a StateImpact Florida\/Florida Center for Investigative Reporting story that the nation’s largest online educator, K12, is being investigated for using uncertified teachers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

K12 is holding a conference call on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“We’d expect the company to address this in more detail during the call,” Morgan Stanley wrote in its comment.<\/a><\/p>\n

But the firm says there is a long history of bad press surrounding K12 because of the threat of “virtual schools to traditional teachers and powerful teachers unions.<\/p>\n

“There’s a risk a few bad actors fell through the cracks,” Morgan Stanley analysts write of K12’s 3,500 teachers who work directly for K12 or at schools they manage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley quotes K12 financial filings.<\/p>\n

“We generally recruit teachers who, at a minimum, are state certified and meet each state’s requirements for designation as a ‘Highly Qualified Teacher.'”<\/p>\n

As the Morgan Stanley comment headline says: “Florida Investigation a Concern, But Seems More of the Same.”<\/p>\n

K12, Inc’s stock price was down 13.68 percent<\/a> Tuesday, as of 3:40 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
