The Solomon Charter School only opened in September, but Pennsylvania’s secretary of education filed charges Friday to revoke the operating charter of the Philadelphia-based cyber school for violating its charter and state law.

Secretary Ron Tomalis said the cyber school based at 1209 Vine St. was not meeting the requirement of offering a significant portion of its instruction to students online.

“Since opening its doors in September 2012, Solomon has primarily operated as a brick-and-mortar charter school, circumventing the brick-and-mortar charter school authorization process and negating the essential basis on which the charter was granted – that the school would provide a ‘cyber’ education to its students,” Tomalis said in a statement.

He said Education Department officials visited the Vine Street headquarters three times. Each visit confirmed that Solomon was operating a regular charter school, and serving lunch and providing transportation for students.

In the application the Education Department approved last spring, Solomon said it would offer a combination of online and classroom instruction.

Founders said they would begin with seventh through 10th grades, teach Hebrew, and focus on world civilizations.

Stephen Crane, a Center City businessman and founder, had considered opening a Hebrew-language charter on Vine Street in 2010.
