Cyber charter funding reforms pass state House committee; lauded by public education advocates, rejected by cyber charter school leadership

  • House Democrats passed a bill on Wednesday capping cyber charter school funding at $8,000 per student across Pennsylvania.
  • The bill follows Auditor General Timothy DeFoor's February report exposing questionable financial practices and rapid revenue growth in cyber charter schools.
  • The reforms include standardized tuition rates, transparency measures, accountability requirements, and limits on unassigned fund balances in cyber charters.
  • The House approved the measure 102-98 with only two Republicans crossing party lines, while opponents warn the bill could close cyber charter schools and harm students' options.
  • If enacted, the legislation is expected to save hundreds of millions annually for school districts but must gain further Republican support in the Senate to become law.
