      2. D-3.  Supports legislation that eliminates the financial burden on local school districts by funding cyber charter schools at the state level.  Further, district funding for brick and mortar charter schools should be limited to charters granted by school boards and funded at a cost based on actual documented educational expenditures and not to exceed the sending district’s actual educational expenditures per student.

      4. I-2.  Supports legislation that establishes a K-12 education funding system that is built upon the principles of equity, adequacy, efficiency, accountability and predictability; uses a statewide funding formula for school district subsidy that recognizes the number of students taught, the relative wealth of a district, the local tax effort and the actual costs of educating every student to achieve Pennsylvania’s academic standards; and requires the state to fund 100% of all budgeted subsidy payments on a timely basis.
