Cyber school officials don’t agree with Southmoreland School District Superintendent John Halfhill’s assessment that the organizations drain local public school district funding and aren’t making the grade in regards to state testing.
At a recent school board meeting, Halfhill presented findings from the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Web site that showed several cyber schools missed Adequate Yearly Progress and still others were under corrective action for not making AYP for several years.
But cyber school officials said Halfhill’s presentation was misleading.
The Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School is the second longest running cyber school in Pennsylvania with about 3,700 students enrolled.
Joe Lyons, executive director of school communications for the Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School, admitted the cyber school is in corrective action, although the cyber school did make AYP three years ago.
