Are Pennsylvania’s Public Charter Schools held to a higher level of accountability than all other Public Schools?

Yes. As Local Education Agencies, they are held to the same state and federal mandates as all other public schools. In addition, Pennsylvania’s Public Charter Schools are accountable to:

• The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) which authorizes Cyber Charter Schools
• Their respective Charter Authorizer, either PDE or their local School District(s)
• The individual parents and families who choose Public Charter Schools to help their children achieve their goals
