💨 Abstract

The Pennsylvania state House narrowly passed a Democratic bill to limit per-student payments to cyber charter schools to $8,000. The bill aims to reduce the financial burden on public school districts and property tax payers, with supporters citing recent criticisms of cyber charter spending. The legislation includes additional restrictions on cash reserves, enrollment incentives, and disclosure requirements. However, Republicans opposed the bill, arguing it would harm students who rely on cyber charters.
