Act 47 of 2025 Cyber Charter Student Residency Verification Process

Act 47 of 2025 includes changes to the Pennsylvania School Code that impact the residency requirements for cyber charter schools. Under the updated law, parents with students who attend cyber charter schools are now required to verify student residency with the school district of residence and cyber charter schools twice per year: March 1 and November 1.
 
The first Cyber Charter Enrollment and Residency Verification Form for each student residing in the Brentwood Borough School District and attending a cyber charter school (not the Brentwood Cyber program) must be submitted by parents/guardians to the Brentwood Borough School District by March 1, 2026.
