Climate staff help keep our schools safe so kids can focus on learning. They're in the hallways, the lunchroom, the schoolyard — building trust every single day. Philly can't afford to lose 119 of them. @PHLCouncil: pass the rideshare tax now.

Thanks to @RepKrajewski for fighting for all PA kids to have equal access to programs that keep them out of jail & on a new path. #diversion #restorativejustice

A special thanks to the committee members - Republicans & Democrats - who voted in favor of the bill:

[Children First @childrenfirstpa]

It's a win for early learners!

[Pre-K for PA @PreK4PA]

This new $9.5M in state funding for Pre-K Counts will help stabilize early learning providers by raising per-child reimbursement rates—an important step to address rising costs and staffing challenges caused by low wages.

[Juvenile Law Center @JuvLaw1975]

Huge thanks to @RepKinkead, the champion of HB 1385! This bill, which eliminates harmful juvenile fees and fines in PA, passed out of the Judiciary Committee yesterday! Call your PA state rep and ask them to support it and call for a floor vote! #debtfreejustice

Our students deserve fully funded schools, and they need the PA Senate to pass a budget that prioritizes public education now.

Cuts to SNAP are cuts to children, their health, their education & their future. 👎

[CBS Philadelphia @CBSPhiladelphia]

Millions of people who receive food stamps could soon see smaller benefits or even get kicked out of the program due to changes that are starting to roll out from the "One Big Beautiful" tax and spending law.

“The current formula has no relation to the actual costs of cyber education, and after years of inaction, our superintendents are unified in saying reform cannot wait another budget cycle.”
