Administrators asked the board to approve payment of $5,141.37 to Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School to resolve a funding dispute arising from the 2016–17 school year.
The presenter explained that the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania changed how tuition rates for cyber charter schools were to be calculated, invalidating the use of actual expenditures versus budgeted expenditures for the district’s calculation. The district’s solicitor reviewed the matter and recommended settling for the requested amount to resolve the claim.
A board member, identified in the transcript as Mister Collins, said he remained concerned about how cyber charter schools are regulated at the state level and called for leadership in Harrisburg to address broader problems with the oversight and regulation of cyber charter funding.
The transcript records the recommendation to approve the payment; it does not record a formal vote on the settlement during this meeting.
