Introduced Text

Pennsylvania SB799 amends funding provisions for charter schools, ensuring equitable funding for non-special and special education students.

Pennsylvania SB799 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to revise funding for charter schools. The bill ensures that non-special education students in charter schools receive funding equivalent to the highest amount a cyber charter school affiliated with the student's district would receive. Special education students receive the same funding as non-special education students, plus an additional amount based on the district's special education expenditure. This funding is paid by the district of residence of each student.
