This morning, public charter school leaders and a charter school student testified before the Senate Education Committee during the third hearing in a series of public hearings focused on school choice and education reform. K. Chase Patterson, CEO of Urban Academy of Greater Pittsburgh Charter School, and Brian Hayden, CEO of PA Cyber Charter School, shared their schools’ roles in the K-12 public school landscape and the educational reforms needed to ensure public charters remain an option for thousands of PA students.
In addition to the charter school leaders, Isaac Gabriel, a senior at City Charter High School in Pittsburgh, also testified before the Committee and explained why every student – regardless of their address – should have access to public charter schools.
