8- Today a school district can give a poor performing charter school another year to show progress, and agree to close voluntarily if it fails. Under SB1 this second chance goes away.

6 -From the annals of Crazytown – A district will have to close its online academy and set up a new cyber charter school – so the district will pay tuition to itself. Huh? @PACharter @pacharterchange@PASenateGOP@PaSenateDems@EdVotersPA@PSEA_GR

5- The proposed State Charter School Commission will have less than 3 months to approve a new $5 million-$10 million charter school. No money down! Easy application! Guaranteed approval! @PASenateGOP@PaSenateDems@pacharterchange@PSEA_GR

It's time for the General Assembly to stop passing the buck and #FundOurSchoolsPA.
