PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 7th day of December, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:
(1) Does the Commonwealth Court’s Opinion present a question of
substantial public importance to the extent that it holds a school district
liable for a charter school’s liability(ies)?
(2) Does the Commonwealth Court’s Opinion present an issue of first
impression to the extent that it holds a school district liable for a charter
school’s liability(ies)?
(3) Does the Commonwealth Court’s Opinion depart from accepted judicial
practices or did the Court abuse its discretion when it ignored the statutory
provisions, found in the Public School Code, which preclude a school
district from being made liable for a charter school’s liability(ies)?
