Subject: | Cyber Charter School Tuition |
I will shortly reintroduce SB 34 from the 2019-20 session, relieving school districts that provide their own cyber education programs from financial responsibility for resident students who enroll in a cyber-charter school. Currently, school districts are responsible for the tuition of resident students attending cyber charter schools. This is set at the amount of the district's net per-student share of state basic education funding. 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. I hope you will join in this legislation. |
