Consistent internet access is a necessity for success at Insight PA Cyber Charter School. Therefore, Insight PA provides internet reimbursement for each family as outlined in our Internet Reimbursement Policy.
How do I apply for student/family internet service provider (ISP) reimbursement?
The Internet Reimbursement window for Semester Two of the 25-26 School Year will open in the Spring.
Who is eligible?
To be eligible for internet reimbursement, students must be actively enrolled at the time the check is issued. Families must also be in good standing and in full compliance with the school. Examples of noncompliance include:
- Non-verified home address
- Incomplete or missing charter school enrollment form (original or revised for address change)
- Non-return of laptop, other technology, or curriculum materials (e.g., defective or from a previously enrolled child)
- Graduation-related holds
- Incomplete or missing student health forms and documentation
- Any other noncompliance, provided the family has been told in advance that the failure to comply with the school’s request could lead to a hold for noncompliance.
Families receiving a “hotspot connection” from Insight PA are not eligible. Likewise, families of withdrawn students are not eligible for reimbursement, with one exception. A family who does not re-enroll for the upcoming school year, but whose student completed the current school year (e.g., the July payment for January–June) is still eligible.
How does it work?
- Insight PA will reimburse a family $50 per month toward the costs associated with their child(ren)’s internet access. Please note that this is a per family reimbursement based on the household address.
- Internet Reimbursement for Semester One covers the months of August, September, October, November, and December
- Internet Reimbursement for Semester Two covers the months of January, February, March, April, May, and June.
- Insight PA will ask families to verify their mailing address in advance of the reimbursement checks being issued. A family’s check will not be issued until a family verifies their address.
- Reimbursement will be pro-rated to reflect enrollment dates that do not include the entire school year.
- Verifying and following up on criteria may result in a delay in payment.
