We recently posted about an ongoing situation in Philadelphia, PA, where students plagued with threats of violence are turning to online learning as a safe public school alternative.

On Tuesday, April 12^th, Sharon Williams, Head of School at Agora Cyber Charter School in Pennsylvania was featured on MSNBC. During the segment, titled "Cyber Schools Offering Education Alternative," she spoke about Agora, a state-wide virtual charter school in Pennsylvania. Twenty percent of the students enrolled in Agora are from Philadelphia. Ms. Williams stated that she definitely sees a correlation between the increased violence issues and the large proportion of Agora students from Philadelphia.
