This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 by introducing a new section that establishes a moratorium on the establishment of new cyber charter schools in Pennsylvania. Specifically, it states that beginning July 1, 2025, and continuing through June 30, 2038, the Department of Education will not review or act on any applications for new cyber charter schools, regardless of when those applications are submitted.

The intent of this legislation is to pause the growth of cyber charter schools for a specified period, allowing for a reassessment of their impact on the public education system. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
