within the operating school year. A student enrolled in a
charter school shall be included in the average daily membership
of the student's district of residence for the purpose of
providing basic education funding payments and special education
funding pursuant to Article XXV. If a school district fails to
make a payment to a charter school as prescribed in this clause,
the secretary shall deduct the estimated amount, as documented
by the charter school, from any and all State payments made to
the district after receipt of documentation from the charter
school.
(6) Within thirty (30) days after the secretary makes the
deduction described in clause (5), a school district may notify
the secretary that the deduction made from State payments to the
district under this subsection is inaccurate. The secretary
shall provide the school district with an opportunity to be
heard concerning whether the charter school documented that its
students were enrolled in the charter school, the period of time
during which each student was enrolled, the school district of
residence of each student and whether the amounts deducted from
the school district were accurate.
(a.1) If the student's school district or intermediate unit
operates a cyber charter school and the student attends another
cyber charter school, neither the Commonwealth nor the school
district shall be required to provide funding under this
section. The student may be charged tuition by the cyber charter
school under section 2561.
