ellyssianThe PDE decision re: Project 720 and cyber schools doesn't appear to be something decided in the legislature.
Basically, if anything in December made a change in the laws relating to cyber schools it would be this and it 1) doesn't mention Project 720 by name; 2) appears to reinforce that a cyber school is, in fact, a charter school, insofar as the laws pertaining to disabilities and education apply.
Which would seem to imply that cyber schools aren't being excluded, but rather explicitly included.
Which means nothing, because I'm not sure how much of any decisions by the PDE would be reflected here - I would expect 100%, because that seems like something beyond day-to-day business; it's a decision, and it needs to be decided and recorded. But, hey, my familiarity is more with the data documents, not the raw legislative bulletins. Or worse. =)
Still, we'll see what I hear back from the PDE folks...
