The Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed a bill on Wednesday that would dramatically change how cyber charter schools are funded. As it stands, the state calculates how much money cyber charter schools get the same as other charter schools, by matching the cost of educating similar students in their home district. That means cyber charter schools receive a different amount of tuition revenue from every school district, depending on how much they spend on their students.

Pa. House Democrats passed a bill that would dramatically change the rapidly growing cyber charter school sector by capping the amount of money each school would receive on Wednesday, just as budget negotiations in Harrisburg are ramping up.
