Board staff propose countywide resolution urging cap on cyber charter tuition at $10,000
Summary
Administration presented a draft resolution, coordinated with neighboring Berks County districts, to urge state lawmakers to cap cyber charter tuition at $10,000 per student and asked for board support to send a template letter to state legislators.
Administration presented a proposed resolution and template letter that would ask state legislators to limit cyber charter tuition payments to $10,000 per pupil. The item is being coordinated with neighboring Berks County school districts; administration said many districts are pursuing similar resolutions and that momentum has increased in recent months.
A board member and a public commenter urged stronger advocacy, suggesting a lower cap ($8,000) and additional resolutions in favor of adequacy funding. A member of the public noted differences in special education funding flows to cyber charters as an area of concern.
Administration asked board members who wish to serve as delegates or champions on this issue to contact the superintendent’s office; no final board action was taken at the meeting. The proposed materials will be included in the legislative packet for further consideration.
