Midway ISD sues firm over Internet teaching system

The Midway school board is suing a Richardson-based educational company, alleging that the company defrauded the school system out of more than $300,000 because its product did not live up to its billing.

Midway trustees allege that USA Distance Learning Network Inc. and its representative, Andrew Buffington, failed to buy back the educational system as promised, violating a “no-risk sell-back” option if Midway could not recoup the cost of the program by selling it to smaller schools.

According to the lawsuit, in July 2003, Buffington sold his company’s distance learning program, in which Midway Independent School District would provide one or more master teachers or e-teachers to lead courses that would be broadcast over the Internet.’
