Based on a national average, costs for full- time virtual schools ranged from $7,200 to $8,300 per pupil (Augenblick, Palaich and Associates). Savings compared to $10,000 per pupil national average for K-12 education.”

"Having access to school choice options isn't a luxury for parents who opt into the charter system: It's a necessity. No parent chooses to take their son or daughter

  • ut of public school because it's the "easy" thing to do. We're there because of

serious health challenges, bullying or simply because a traditional public school has failed our student. Every year, Oklahoma’s charter schools are forced to do more with less, as they are funded at significantly lower levels than traditional public schools - a situation which tacitly labels those children in non-traditional public schools as "worth less." Even still, the schools succeed in giving parents choice in how to educate their children, and that's a blessing. Oklahoma has trusted parents to choose and it must continue to do so in the future.“ Colleen Cook President National Coalition for Public School Options
