Legislation that seeks to transform the way education is delivered to sixth- through 12th-graders emerged out of the House Education Committee on Tuesday. The state House Education Committee passed legislation on Tuesday that seeks to transform the way education is delivered in all Pennsylvania public schools. The bill’s sponsor Rep. Ryan Aument, R-Lancaster, would mandate public schools to offer online learning opportunities to students in secondary schools. He said he sees this mandate as necessary to spur innovation in the way education is delivered in all schools, not just the ones that have already made this leap to offering online courses.
