Controversy over cyber school payments intensifies
In Harrisburg a pair of state bills would require parents to pay tuition if they enroll children in outside online classes rather than district cyber options. Local districts would fund cyber tuition, but under the measures students must join district online programs or be charged for state cyber schools. Tuition ranges from 8000 to 20000 dollars per student, excluding special education. Advocates warn plans would decimate cyber schools, limiting options for dissatisfied families.
