Barb receives Cyber Families Leadership Award
As a former teacher and a parent, I know that learning does not come “one size fits all.” Everyone learns differently and I believe that cyber charter schools are a key part of the state’s education equation and provide a quality learning experience for students who, for whatever reason, may not fit into the public school mold.
I was honored recently to receive the Cyber Families Leadership Award from the Pennsylvania Families for Public Cyber Schools.
Pennsylvania is a leader in the development of online charter public schools. The state’s first cyber public charter school began in 1998 and now more than 20,000 students are enrolled in these schools.
As chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on Special Education, and a member of the House Education Committee, I will continue my efforts to ensure the future of cyber schools in Pennsylvania and to improve public education for all children in the Commonwealth.
