PA Schools Work

"Leaders in traditional public school districts have been begging for changes to the cyber charter funding system since cyber charters were established in 2002. It’s time to look at the facts and when you do, the case for cyber charter reform is clear." timesonline.com/story/opinion/…

"Conestoga Valley students shouldn’t have to wait years for the education they’re entitled to receive today. Every year we delay full school funding is another year we fail our students and compromise our community’s future." #FinishTheJob lancasteronline.com/opinion/letter…

Cash flow in districts won’t be directly affected until August at the earliest, but less-obvious fallout already is occurring. post-gazette.com/news/politics-…

Pennsylvania school districts rely on both state and federal funding. Both remain uncertain. buckscountybeacon.com/2025/07/with-n…

"As we approach another critical budget, Pennsylvania must decide: either continue to meaningfully address the school funding crisis or fall farther behind in fulfilling our constitutional obligations to our children." timesobserver.com/news/pa-news-a…

Two years ago, the Commonwealth Court ruled that PA's current public education funding system is unconstitutional and requires additional resources for low-wealth school districts to ensure an equitable education. It's time to #FinishTheJob! @ncsdcolts

"Adequacy funding has become the hope we've needed for years."

School districts are having to make difficult financial decisions due to the uncertainty of funding to come from a yet to be finalized #PABudget, federal funding cuts, and the need for cyber charter funding reform. timesleader.com/news/1710317/n…

Without adequacy funding and cyber charter funding reform, districts across the Commonwealth will need to make very difficult financial decisions.

“The critical thing is to get this done right, before it starts delivering pain to people.” post-gazette.com/news/politics-…

"School funding is not and never should be a partisan issue." @ncsdcolts

In a first step towards a final 2025-26 PA State Budget, the House passed a bipartisan budget bill yesterday evening, which included much of Gov. Shapiro's proposed education funding increases. pennlive.com/politics/2025/…

Last year's adequacy funding has made a real difference to rural schools across the Commonwealth. #InvestmentPays

Strong rural schools mean strong rural communities. It's time to deliver for PA's public school students and #FinishTheJob!

“If the legislature punts on cyber charter funding reform without increasing basic and special education funding they’re going to really harm a lot of students and a lot of districts." penncapital-star.com/education/with…

1 year ago, lawmakers took the 1st step to closing the adequacy gap for PA public schools. Next step: Pass a #PABudget that invests in students, saves millions w/ cyber charter reform, & fulfills our constitutional obligation! @PaHouseDems @PAHouseGOP @PaSenateDems @PASenateGOP

At the Capitol this week, @IndianaAreaSD superintendent stressed that education “cannot be a partisan issue,” and views increased funding as “a shared investment in the future of Pennsylvania’s economy, workforce and communities.” #FinishTheJob #PABudget indianagazette.com/news/indiana-a…

PA students can't wait! Harrisburg must deliver a #PABudget that fully funds our public schools! #InvestmentPays

“We must pass the complete education funding proposal. Anything less continues the very inequalities the court found unconstitutional.” - Shenandoah Valley School District superintendent #FinishTheJob #PABudget penncapital-star.com/civil-rights-s…
