An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in charter schools, further providing for funding for cyber charter schools.

Summary

The legislation adds a new section to Pennsylvania’s Public School Code that eliminates tuition charges for students—resident or non‑resident—attending cyber charter schools. A school district can be exempt from paying the per‑student tuition for its residents who enroll in an outside cyber charter school if the district runs an approved online program that meets criteria the Department of Education will develop. The measure aims to ensure equitable access to online education while encouraging districts to offer quality virtual options.
