May. 21, 2007 - Cyber Charter Schools need help

Here is a message from a fellow homeschooler- lets help as much as possible to keep cyber charter schools open!

Shiloah --

____________________________

As I now understand it, House Bill 446 is up to seriously cut the funding to cyber charter schools across the state of Pennsylvania. The Cyber Schools are stating that they will not be able to operate with this type of funding cut. Our school is organizing another march in Harrisburg, and once I have that date, I will forward it on to you. In the meantime, you can find current information on this website: http://www.pacyberfamilies.org.

You can get involved if you wish, in several ways.

Provides information on how to contact State Representative Karen Beyer and let her know that we will not stand for her bill.

Provides a form letter that you can print, sign and send off.

Thank you for your response! It meant a lot to me to see so many Mom Packers jumping up to help with this.
