New Grant From Center for Rural Pennsylvania on Cyber Charters

The Center for Rural Pennsylvania has just awarded Center Associate Karen Eppley, CREC Director Kai Schafft and Graduate Student Associate Annie Maselli $50,000 to study changes in cyber charter school enrollments in Pennsylvania, the impacts on rural school districts, and parental motivations for enrolling children in cyber charter schools. A particular focus is on how the COVID-19 pandemic may have affected these enrollment decisions. This research will run through the 2022 calendar year.
