This article is from Lehigh Valley Live
A growing number of Lehigh Valley school districts are exploring starting cyber academies to lure students back from charter schools.

Saucon ValleyBethlehem Area and Easton Area school districts all plan to discuss new or expanded online learning during budget talks this spring.
