Make Your Voice Heard! Contact Your Lawmakers Today!

Dear Public Cyber Charter School Educators & Staff,

As we approach the critical June 30th deadline for the 2026-2027 State Budget, our students, families, and dedicated staff are facing significant new threats that could undermine the quality of education we provide.

We urge you to contact your State Representative and State Senator TODAY to make your voice heard and urge them to:

• Protect Funding for Public Cyber Charter Schools and Students: Ask your local lawmakers to OPPOSE House Bill 2634. This bill will increase the funding cut imposed on public cyber charter schools for the 2025-26 school year (totaling $238 million in lost funding) by an additional (estimated) $75-$100 million for the 2026-27 school year. If this bill becomes law, public cyber charter schools will begin the 2026-27 school year under a funding cut totaling somewhere between $313-$338 million.
• Ensure Equitable Accountability: Ask your lawmaker to OPPOSE any new mandates that are targeted at public cyber charter schools but not equally applied to school districts and intermediate units that operate their own virtual programs.
• Correct the Unintended Consequences of Act 47 of 2025: Ask lawmakers to support legislative proposals intended to fix the burdensome residency verification mandates placed on public cyber charter school families (introduced by Rep. D’Orsie and Sen. Coleman ) and restore access to public cyber charter schools for habitually truant students (introduced by Rep. Gleim and Sen. Keefer). 

Take Action Now!

Please join our advocacy efforts by sending a pre-drafted direct message to your local lawmakers. (Note - You are provided an opportunity to include a personal message if you choose). It only takes a few minutes to make your voice heard and ensure the voices of public cyber charter school educators and staff are being considered during the State Budget negotiations.

We are fighting for our students, our educators and dedicated staff, and the longevity of our school. Your voice will make a difference!

Thank you for your continued dedication to your students.
