See the estimated
savings by school district if there were statewide flat tuition rates of $5000
for regular ed students and $8865 for special ed.
Education Voters PA Website February 14, 2019
“The
report proposes static cyber charter tuition rates of $5,000 per student and
$8,865 per special education student, basing it off of the average amount
school districts pay to provide their own cyber program. It also points out how
poorly cyber charter schools have performed over the years: Not one of the
state’s cyber charters achieved a passing score in any of the five years the
School Performance Profile, which was replaced by the Future Ready PA Index
last year, was in effect.”
Report: Lancaster County school districts
could save $8M a year under charter school reform
Lancaster Online by ALEX
GELI | Staff Writer February 15, 2019
The annual debate over cyber charter school funding is already at
full-speed.
The nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy group Education Voters of PA this
week released a report that contends lowering annual tuition rates for
Pennsylvania’s publicly funded but privately run charter schools could save
school districts more than $8 million in Lancaster County and upwards of $250
million statewide. The current method for funding cyber charter schools, which
have historically offered mixed student results, is fundamentally flawed, the
report states, and puts an undue burden on more reputable brick-and-mortar
schools already struggling to make ends meet. “The relief would be greatly
received by our taxpayers,” Eastern Lancaster County Superintendent Bob
Hollister said of the proposal, “but it still isn’t reflective of what our
actual costs are to operate our own cyber school.” Elanco is one local school
district that provides its own cyber program. Hollister said in a phone
interview Thursday that it costs about $3,500 per student. That’s less than
one-third of what it pays for cyber charter tuition for nonspecial education
students. “This is unacceptable,” Susan Spicka, executive director of Education
Voters of PA, said in a statement. “… The time has come for lawmakers (to)
reform Pennsylvania’s charter school law so that school district payments to
cyber charter schools match the actual cost of educating a child at home on a
computer.”
NEW REPORT: Commonsense Cyber Charter School Funding Reform
Real
reform will eliminate wasteful spending and save $250 million in taxpayer money
Education
Voters PA Report February 13, 2019
In 2015, the
Pennsylvania legislature enacted a new school funding formula that based
funding on actual student enrollment and other cost factors. The legislature
has not yet addressed similar flaws in Pennsylvania’s system for funding cyber
charter schools. With a nearly $500 million annual price tag, funding of cyber
charter schools remains just as flawed as the old system of funding basic
education was, and has created ever worsening problems for our state’s school
districts and wasted tax monies.
Blogger
note: over the next several days we will continue rolling out cyber charter
tuition expenses for taxpayers in education committee members and legislative
leadership districts.
In 2016-17, taxpayers in Senate Majority Leader .@JakeCorman’s districts had to send over $6.3 million to chronically
underperforming cybers that their locally elected school boards never
authorized. SB34 (Schwank) could change that.

“Under my legislation, a district that offers a cyber program equal in scope and content to the cyber charter school will not be responsible for the tuition costs. Instead, tuition costs will be treated in cyber situations the same as they are when resident students attend non-district brick-and-mortar schools.”

Your View by Sen. Bob
Casey: One year after Parkland shootings, it's time to pass gun reforms
Morning Call Opinion by Senator Bob CaseyFebruary 14, 2019
One year ago today, on Feb. 14, 2018, a gunman armed with an AR-15-style
semi-automatic rifle took the lives of 17 individuals at Marjory Stoneman
Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. One year later, while the families and
community of Parkland still mourn, the outlook for gun violence in America has
not improved. Gun deaths are trending upward, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, which recently announced that there were 39,773
gun deaths in 2017, an increase of 1,000 from 2016. About 2,700 children and
teenagers are killed with guns each year, and about 14,500 more are injured. Since
the tragedy at Parkland, gun reform advocates — including our nation’s children
and young people — are more engaged than ever: organizing, marching and pushing
for common-sense reforms like universal background checks, a ban on military
style weapons and funding for the CDC to study gun violence. Their dedication
to change, however, highlights the shameful inaction of the U.S. Congress,
inaction that allowed gun violence to reach these crisis levels in the first
place.
Schuylkill County
teachers will continue legal fight against arming school staff
PA Capital Star By Elizabeth
Hardison February 14, 2019
A Schuylkill County judge says she needs more information from a local
teachers union before ruling on a policy that would allow employees to carry
firearms in schools. The Tamaqua Education Association said Thursday it
will file an amended complaint in the coming days against the Tamaqua School
District, which adopted a policy last year permitting some school
employees to carry concealed firearms. Tamaqua’s School Board approved
the policy unanimously in September, amid growing concerns about
school safety in the wake of high-profile mass shootings. The teachers filed
their suit against the district in November. On Tuesday, a Court of Common
Pleas judge told the union it needed to provide additional facts to
support their legal “standing” — that is, a sufficient reason to bring a case
in court. A plaintiff can claim standing if
they show that a law causes them undue harm or limits their protected freedoms.
The teachers now have 20 days to file an amended complaint. “We intend to
address the court’s concern by filing an amended complaint within the next few
days to support our belief that the possession of firearms by insufficiently
trained school personnel poses a danger to our members at school,” Frank
Wenzel, president of the Tamaqua Education Association, said in a statement. The
Tamaqua policy, which not
yet been enacted, is the first of its kind in Pennsylvania.
Philly students,
teachers say more counselors needed to deal with trauma from gun violence
One year ago, the Parkland, Florida, shooting
brought more attention to the issue.
The notebook by Darryl C. Murphy WHYY NEWS February
14 — 12:26 pm, 2019
Thursday marks one year since the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High School in Parkland, Florida, killed 17 people and set off a wave of
activism across the country. Students called for more gun control and safer
schools. Young people in Philadelphia and other urban areas seized the
opportunity to bring long-awaited attention to gun violence and trauma that
affects them on a regular basis. But some activists, students, and teachers say
that one year later, not much has changed in the way of investments to fully
address students’ needs. Ismael Jimenez, a teacher at Kensington CAPA High
School, was one of six panelists at a discussion forum on gun violence and
trauma in schools and communities. The forum, on Sunday evening, was
hosted by the Caucus of Working Educators at Church of the Advocate in North Philadelphia.
“The hope is that we can really start a real conversation that can be extended
into future activities and collaboration with folks that are really into
changing the circumstances that produce so much trauma in our society,” said
Jimenez, a member of the group. The number of people shot in Philadelphia rose
10 percent in 2018 to 1,376, according to data from The Philadelphia
Inquirer. About 10 percent of victims were under age 18, and almost 40
percent were between 18 and 25.
Citizens Voice BY MICHAEL P. BUFFER / PUBLISHED: FEBRUARY 15, 2019
More than 240,000 students across Pennsylvania attend school districts
that lacked updated policies on reporting child abuse as of Feb. 1, Auditor
General Eugene DePasquale said Thursday, citing a review by his staff. In 2014,
the state responded to the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State with new
requirements to prevent local school officials from concealing suspected child
abuse, DePasquale said in a news release. About 79 percent of school districts
have updated policies that outline the required steps staff must take to report
suspected child abuse and neglect, he said. “That leaves 21 percent of
districts without an updated policy that requires staff to report child abuse
and neglect concerns directly to ChildLine, the state’s child-abuse hotline,”
DePasquale said in the news release. “This is important because it means their
teachers and support staff might not be properly trained to act as the first
line of defense against abuse and neglect.”
New Philly Charter
Application from String Theory Charters: Joan Myers Brown Academy

School Applications, by
Deborah Grill
Location: 3905 Ford Road (former Wordsworth Academy) Grades:
K-8
Neighborhood: Wynnefield Heights
Projected enrollment: 600 in year 1 (K-5); 900 (K-8) by year 4
Management Company: String Theory Schools
Cost to District for 5-year term: $49, 253, 959
Neighborhood: Wynnefield Heights
Projected enrollment: 600 in year 1 (K-5); 900 (K-8) by year 4
Management Company: String Theory Schools
Cost to District for 5-year term: $49, 253, 959
String Theory Charter Management Company (STS) has applied to open a new
charter school, the Joan Myers Brown Academy (JMBA), a K-8 school focusing on
the performing arts in the Wynnefield Heights Section of Philadelphia.
The school would be located in the former Wordsworth Academy building at
3905 Ford Road and would recruit students from the 19131, 19151 and 19139 zip
codes. String Theory expects to enroll 600 students in year one in grades K-5
and 900 students by year 4 with the addition of grades 6-8. String Theory
already operates the District’s largest charter–Philadelphia Performing Arts
charter, a K-12 school located on 3 different campuses in 2 separate
neighborhoods, in buildings owned by DeMedici Corporation and DeMedici
Corporation II, companies that are described in a 2017
financial statementas “legally separate, tax-exempt component units of
the School.” The application for the for the new charter school
states that “JMB Academy, as a K-8 String Theory Charter School, is
dedicated to Growing the Next Generation of Creative Leaders. This new charter
will build upon the successes of the foundational models of Philadelphia
Performing Arts Charter School and the Philadelphia Charter School for the Arts
and Sciences at H.R. Edmunds.” The application also says, “In order to
maximize the availability of quality education options in West Philadelphia, it
is our belief that it is essential to have a local enrollment preference and
due to the high demand of our school model believe there will be more than
enough interest to meet enrollment estimates.”
Some of the concerns presented by the Charter Schools Office Staff at the
January 22 hearing include:
Lehigh Valley Academy
Regional Charter plans a $45 million school building
Jacqueline
Palochko Contact
Reporter Of The Morning Call February 14, 2019
Wanting to get out of the business of paying rent, the Lehigh Valley
Academy Regional Charter School is looking to build a 200,000-square-foot
building at a cost of $45 million. The K-12 charter school is interviewing
architectural firms this week for a new school that officials would like to
open for the 2023-24 year, according to a news release from the school. LVA’s
lease in Hanover Township, Northampton County, expires August 2023. Eight
architectural firms have responded to LVA’s request for proposal. Interviews
began Wednesday and will continue through the end of the week. Shea Ace, the
charter school’s community relations coordinator, said a site has not yet been
chosen. At its Jan. 16 meeting, the board approved a $10 million sales
agreement that could be for land. Ace would not say. CEO Susan Mauser did not
return multiple messages. Board President Martin Smith was unavailable for
comment Thursday. “The LVA Board of Trustees recognizes that owning our own
facility is significantly more cost effective, fiscally responsible, and
sustainable in the long term,” the news release states. The charter school
needs the permission of both the Bethlehem Area and Saucon Valley school boards
to change locations because it is a regional charter school.
Chartiers Valley
passes preliminary budget with half-mill increase
Post Gazette by DEANA CARPENTER FEB 14, 2019 11:14
AM
Taxes in the Chartiers Valley School District could go up by as much as
0.4802 mills in the 2019-20 school year as school directors on Feb.12 approved
the district’s $69.6 million preliminary general fund budget. If the board
approves the increase in June, the millage rate would rise to 7.551 mills from
the current rate of 7.071 mills, which would mean an increase of about
$48 on each $100,000 of assessed property value. The district currently has one
of the lowest millage rates in the county. District officials stressed that the
2019-20 budget is in its early stages of development and is not an indication
of a the final millage rate that may be levied on taxpayers.
Separate PIAA
playoffs for public, private schools? State Rep. Scott Conklin unveils new bill
Centre Daily Times BY JOHN
MCGONIGAL FEBRUARY 14, 2019 10:07 PM,
STATE COLLEGE - Change could be coming to the
PIAA playoff system. At least, a host of high school coaches and State Rep.
Scott Conklin, D-Rush Township, hope so. On Thursday, Conklin introduced
legislation that would help establish separate playoffs for public and private
schools in Pennsylvania. The Democrat from Centre County intends to change a
1972 law, freeing the PIAA to take action on its current postseason format. The
House bill, officially titled HB-919, will be introduced for co-sponsorship
early next week, per Conklin. He expects cooperation from both sides of the
aisle and hopes movement on the bill will come by the summer. “This is about
safety. This is about fairness. This is about giving an opportunity to every
child. But what this doesn’t do is punish anybody,” Conklin said at the Penn
Stater Hotel and Conference Center, surrounded by select board members of the
PSFCA. “This isn’t set in stone. ... What we’ve heard from the PIAA is that,
‘We can’t change (the postseason format) because with the law in 1972, we can
face litigation.’ Well, we pass this piece of legislation, you don’t have to
face litigation anymore.”

STATE COLLEGE -- A 1972 Pennsylvania law
says that “private schools shall be permitted, if otherwise qualified,
to be members of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.” It also says
that “Private schools shall be permitted, if qualified, to participate
in post-season athletic contests WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS.” Pennsylvania state Rep.
Scott Conklin doesn’t want to change the first part of that, but he does want
to amend the law to allow the PIAA to establish separate playoffs for private
and public schools, otherwise referred to as boundary and non-boundary schools.
Conklin introduced the necessary legislation to reach that goal on Thursday
night during a news conference alongside seven officers and directors from the
Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association. His amendment to the 1972
law is PA House Bill 919, which will be introduced for co-sponsorship next
week. Conklin, a Democrat, said he hopes to have support from both sides of the
the aisle in Harrisburg.Free, online coursework helps teach programming skills
Carnegie Mellon University, By Byron Spice Email January 10, 2019
Carnegie Mellon University, world-renowned for computer science and artificial intelligence, has launched a free, online curriculum for high school students that helps instructors teach programming skills using engaging graphics and animations. The curriculum fills a gap between introductory computer science educational materials available for grades K-8 and the rigorous Advanced Placement courses that the most advanced students might take later in high school, said David Kosbie, an associate teaching professor and co-director of the School of Computer Science's new Computer Science Academy. "This isn't 'drag and drop' programming," Kosbie said. "We're teaching them to use Python, a text-based programming language that is the most widely taught language at the university level." Python also is one of the most popular programming languages in industry, used by such organizations as Google, Amazon and Facebook. The CS Academy was established and its CS1 curriculum developed in response to requests from secondary school teachers and principals, who face growing demands from parents for computer science education but must cope with a lack of educational standards for computer science, a paucity of trained teachers and limited teaching materials.
A High-Crime
Neighborhood Makes It Harder To Show Up For School
NPR by ELISSA
NADWORNY February 13, 201912:01 PM ET
Getting students to show up is one of the biggest challenges schools
face: How can someone learn at school if they're not there in the first place? A
new study suggests living in a high-crime area, or simply passing through one
on the way to school, can impact how often students show up to class. "Some
kids have a harder time getting to a school than others, not for any fault of
their own, but because of the way the transportation system is set up, because
of the way crime clusters in particular places," explains Julia
Burdick-Will, a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University and the lead
author of the study. "It might not be huge, or every day, but it adds
up." She and her team looked at how neighborhood crime in Baltimore
affects attendance. The vast majority of students there use public
transportation (like many urban school systems, Baltimore City Public Schools
don't bus students). Researchers mapped the routes high school freshmen took to
and from school — what streets they were walking on, when and where they picked
up a bus, when they transferred, etc. Then, researchers applied crime data by
location and time of day to see how those findings related to student absences
for the year.
Scholar Linda
Darling-Hammond Picked to Chair California's State Board
Education Week State EdWatch By Daarel
Burnette II on February 13, 2019 3:02 PM
Amid teacher unrest, uproar over its charter school sector, and
frustration with the way Californa measures school success, Gov. Gavin Newsom
on Tuesday appointed Stanford Professor Linda Darling-Hammond, one of the
nation's preeminent education scholars, to chair the state's board of
education. Darling-Hammond is the president of the Learning Policy
Institute, a K-12 think tank, and has written several books and studies. She
replaces Michael Kirst, who chaired the board during former Gov. Jerry Brown's
first term and his last two terms. Kirst and Darling-Hammond align on
many education issues and many observers saw her appointment as a sign that
Newsom will not stray far from Brown's agenda. California serves
more than six million students, about one out of every 8 of America's students.
More than three-fourths of those students are students of color. The state's
department of education has been under attack in recent years for the ways it
has decided to hold schools accountable and for the amount of money it provides
its districts, many of which are sacked with skyrocketing pension
debt.
