Rhonda Brownstein is executive director of the Education Law Center. She says only one of the cyber charters operating in Pennsylvania in 2011 made adequate yearly progress.

Pennsylvania law requires the state education department to do annual reviews on cyber charters and revoke the charters of those schools not meeting student performance mandated by state law.
