2. Big drain for Home school kids

Thousands of kids were previously home schooled in PA, at little cost to public school districts except for text books. Now, those same kids are signed up for cyber charter schools at high taxpayer expense. The money does not come directly from the state, but is diverted from the revenues of the affected school district.

For this reason, a number of public school districts are working on setting up their own cyber school program because they know they can provide the service for about one-half of what the for-profit companies are getting in diverted school district revenues.
