A KPMG report on the state of cyber charter schools in Pennsylvania is coming under fire because of the lack of data from the state's largest cyber school, The Einstein Academy. Data from other cyber schools was self-reported, rather than independently audited, another source of criticism. Pennsylvania authorities are satisfied, saying that "cyber schools provide innovative education for children." But I agree with David Broderic, executive director of the state Senate Education Committee, who said, "Einstein's refusal to provide information speaks volumes about the need for greater accountability measures."CRLF
