Wynnewood, Pa., Resident Proposes a Virtual Charter School to Open Next Year.
Byline: Martha Woodall
Oct. 3--If a Wynnewood woman's proposed charter school is approved, students as young as five years old could be going to school at home by logging on with their laptops next September.
Backers say the proposal to create the Reach Academy Cyber Charter School has attracted particular interest among parents of home-schooled children. But area superintendents are in turmoil over how to deal with it.
Not only has the plan for a kindergarten-through-12th-grade charter school stimulated concern about whether online instruction is appropriate for young children, it also has raised a tangle of logistical and legal questions.
Reach Academy has submitted charter-school applications in 62 of the 64 school districts in the five counties of southeastern Pennsylvania. Applications also are being prepared for the other two, Philadelphia and Lower Merion, Reach's coordinator, Mimi Rothschild, said.
Superintendents from Montgomery County's 22 school districts have been invited to meet tomorrow in Norristown to discuss the proposal.
