From 2001 through at least 2004, when Santorum was serving in the Senate and living full-time in Loudoun County, Va., five of his children were enrolled in an online charter school based in Pennsylvania — a public school, albeit an unusual one — with computers, curricula and other educational services provided at taxpayer expense. According to the Penn Hills Progress, a newspaper in Santorum’s suburban Pittsburgh hometown that broke the story at the time, the local school district had spent approximately $100,000 educating the senator’s so-called home-schooled children, although they lived neither in the district nor in the state.

3 years x 5 kids = 15 kid/yrs
$100,000 / 15kid/yrs = $6,667 per kid per year.
Sounds like a deal by today's standards!
If you assume that 2001 through at least 2004 is inclusive of 2001 then the number is more like $5,000 per kid per year.

My kids were both education though that same program. It is the PA Cyber Charter School. It works by taking the funding from the district that your kid went to and moving it to PA Cyber. It worked well, but I agree, if there were living in VA, they were not PA students and the PA school district should not have been paying for them to school in Virginia.
