@JanMurphy It has been such a pleasure to read your insightful and smart writing for many years. You leave huge shoes for someone to fill. Wishing you the best with what is next for you!

HAPPENING NOW: petitioners and attorneys in the school funding case say the adoption of a 2024-25 #PABudget is only a small piece of what's needed. Without a plan to close adequacy gaps w/ a specific timeline, constitutional compliance is not being addressed.

Tell state lawmakers to reform cyber charter school funding. Pennsylvanians’ property taxes should be invested in educating students, not wasted on advertising, gift cards, and lucrative contracts or packed into cyber charter asset hoards.

Constitutional compliance requires a long-term commitment to fill the adequacy gap for students in every community.

HB2370 proposed a seven year plan and was passed by a bipartisan majority of the House and endorsed by the governor.

It's time to get it done.

Ed Voters PA report indicates 'staggering growth' in cyber charter assets, millions spent on advertising @IndianaGazette @pahousegop @pasenategop @pahousedems @pasenatedems https://t.co/nCibDdGEF8

Thank you @RepMcClinton for your leadership and your commitment to PA's public school students!

[Education Voters PA @EdVotersPA]

We delivered this letter from organizations that oppose private school vouchers to @GovernorShapiro Pennsylvania students need constitutional public school funding, not more vouchers for discriminatory private & religious schools. https://t.co/JFg8fkiryd

@EdFuller_PSU On Wednesday we are scheduled to have 600+ people coming to Harrisburg for a rally on the Capitol steps (outside!) and visits with lawmakers supporting constitutional state funding for public schools. Hoping that will be the day when it doesn’t rain. 🤞

[Education Voters PA @EdVotersPA]

Dear @GovernorShapiro, no additional tax $$ should be sent to private & religious schools that discriminate against students, including those who are disabled, pregnant, or part of the LGBTQ+ community. @PaHouseDems @PAHouseGOP @PASenateGOP @PASenateGOP https://t.co/1zgWkIrHXC

Pennsylvanians have spent $2.6 BILLION on school vouchers since 2001. We do not know who has benefitted from vouchers or what impact this spending has had on student achievement. @palan57 @KRC_PA https://t.co/NpwyRSDAeb

[Education Voters PA @EdVotersPA]

We want to know how much cyber charter schools are spending on wasteful items like food trucks in the audit by @PAAuditorGen Tim DeFoor.

We need transparency and accountability of taxpayer $ to ensure that every child has equitable educational opportunities in PA.

Pennsylvania's constitutional obligation isn't fulfilled by funding school vouchers. Let's prioritize investing in a comprehensive, effective, and contemporary public education for ALL students.

"Money was so tight on one campus, that one former Universal teacher told investigators she resorted to having her students cook and sell lunches to faculty members to raise funds to pay for basic classroom supplies...Meanwhile, its top executive was draining Universal’s coffers"

In PA, private school vouchers pour millions of dollars into religious schools that promote Christian nationalism and hate. The Dayspring Christian Academy in Lancaster Co. is even bringing in Tucker Carlson as a speaker. https://t.co/SWwrdOz2xM

Our senior attorney @Dan_UA testified about the game-changing long-term plan on the table for constitutional public school funding.

“We cannot let another generation of children pass by before getting this right.”

In PA, tax dollars fund vouchers for religious schools that kick out girls who get pregnant. Do the PA religious voucher schools’ church leaders believe that rape victims deserved to be raped like the pastor at this NC voucher school? We do not know…
