Pennsylvania House advances cyber charter reform bill
The Pennsylvania House approved a cyber charter reform measure 102 to 98 with two Republicans joining all Democrats. House Bill 1500 caps annual tuition at 8,000 dollars for non special education students, funds special education with multipliers, and requires districts to pay tuition. The bill limits unassigned fund balances to 12 percent, redirects excess funds to a grant program, bans enrollment incentives, requires residency verification, and mandates disclosure of facility ownership and funding sources. A fiscal note estimates districts would save about 616 million dollars, roughly half of current projected spending. Rep. Mary Louise Isaacson, sponsor, urged that standardized tuition, transparency, and accountability will prevent wasteful taxpayer spending and benefit students.
