| Description | A state education official sided with Sen. Rick Santorum (news, bio, voting record) in a dispute over funding for his children's education, saying a Pennsylvania school district did not file its request for a refund promptly.
Santorum's five school-age children attended a Pennsylvania Internet-based charter school. But Santorum withdrew them in November when district officials in Penn Hills questioned why they were paying tuition when the children lived primarily in Virginia.
The suburban Pittsburgh district, where Santorum owns property and has his legal residence, was providing tuition under a program intended to give local students the cyber-school option.
In an opinion released Monday, a hearing officer recommended that the state education secretary dismiss the district's request for a refund, because it did not file objections in a timely manner, Education Department spokesman Brian Christopher said. |
