The Hebrew Charter School was allowed to open in Philly this year because it claimed to be a cyber charter. According to the article, "just 26 of the150 students are full-time distance learners." How many other schools will open claiming to be cyber charters (and therefore not subject to Phila. approval) while in reality functioning as a brick and mortar school? Again, the 150 students at the school are costing the School District over $1 million just this year. How is the School District suppose to plan when schools masking as cyber charters can expand without any controls?
