As a passionate advocate for education reform in Pennsylvania, I must address the alarming misuse of taxpayer dollars by inefficient school districts. Public cyber charters, such as those highlighted in a recent Democratic House bill, educate students at a fraction of the cost — just $8,500 per student. This efficiency underscores the stark contrast with traditional districts, which continue to waste millions due to inefficiencies and mismanagement.

As a concerned Pennsylvanian, I urge our elected officials to prioritize accountability and transparency in our education system. It is imperative that we demand change to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students across our state.
