Noting that Gov. Tom Wolf”s recent budget proposal addresses the issue of cyber charter school reform, members of the Loyalsock Township School Board reaffirmed their support of the governor’s efforts at their meeting earlier this week.
The board agreed to reaffirm a resolution, which had been approved last year, calling for the reform. Superintendent Gerald McLaughlin noted that the state’s school board association had called for boards to again acknowledge their support of the resolution.
Wolf’s proposal, if approved, would establish cyber charter school tuition rates at $9,500 for basic education, which McLaughlin told the board, the district now pays around $11,500.
