Attention, parents! Did you know the future of charter education is at risk?
The upcoming 2024-2025 Pennsylvania Budget includes potential reductions in funding for cyber charter schools, which could impact your child’s learning experience.
Why do Charter Schools Matter?
- Charter schools are essential for offering diverse, quality educational choices to students and families across Pennsylvania.
- Issues such as equitable funding, support for special education, limitations on enrollment, and transportation are crucial to ensuring all students receive fair educational opportunities.
- The suggested financial cuts to cyber programs risk compromising the achievements of charter schools and limiting the educational tools available to our students.
- Maintaining the funding for charter schools is critical to guarantee that every student can access a superior education, no matter their location or socioeconomic status
