Cyber school is cyber. There’s no buildings maintenance and other things that a brick and mortar school provides and offers. Taking these enormous funds out of my local school district is killing it. It’s less expensive to school a child in cyber school so they need to use a different formula rather than here’s the budget divided by students and pulling random numbers out of the air well that needs to be based on what the cyber school actually costs not what public school cost plus there needs to be a limit. The 3 audits on these schools was quite revealing. There’s a lot of inappropriate expenditures not related to educating students.
There needs to be an audit of a school districts PDE 363 submission when when it has a significant drop in its charter school tuition rates. Then ask if there was a similar drop in what it reports to PDE when the school district submits their costs to educate special and non-special ed students.

Have you seen a 363? that's the money the district keeps from a charter or cyber charter.
