BASD Proud Parents

We're BASD parents who love our public schools—and want them fairly funded by the state of PA. Join us in our fight for equitable, empowering education for all.

[BASD Proud Parents @basdproudparent]

TONIGHT! Join us at the BASD Ed Center (1516 Sycamore) at 7:30 pm to hear from state legislators on the state of BASD funding and how current budget negotiations could affect your student. See you there!

JOIN US in Harrisburg on May 13 to advocate for your children's education. They only get one chance at each grade, and they deserve the $ the state is STILL shortchanging them. @BethlehemAreaSD https://t.co/4AEaF5OJo6

[BASD Proud Parents @basdproudparent]

Have you seen today's @mcall coverage on school districts bracing for federal funding cuts? Our teachers and administrators do so much—we can't let them fight this fight alone. Join us tonight from 7:30 to 8:30 at the Education Center (1516 Sycamore St.)

When the state funds schools fairly, kids get more of what they need.

[PA Schools Work @PASchoolsWork]

The Wilkes-Barre Area School District is using nearly $14.2 million in additional state funding to proceed with hiring 42 teachers, 20 full-time teaching assistants and 12 part-time teaching associates. #InvestmentPays #PABudget

Billionaires and special interest groups who want to gut BASD schools think 2025 is going to be their year. We think it's gonna be ours. Come join us.

Do you like paying higher taxes AND seeing your kids’ schools suffer? Then you’ll love dismantling the Department of Education https://t.co/YuqbVE4JTS

How is it that vouchers take money from public schools?

Isn't it just the tax dollars following the student?

A quick 🧵 on how vouchers are a reverse Robin Hood setup (they rob from the poorer to give to the richer)

This will be Indiana specific but applicable to all states

What HB 2370 means to the @BethlehemAreaSD.

[Public Interest Law Center @PubIntLawCtr]

Instead of focusing on vouchers, our atty @Dan_UA said, lawmakers should pass the House bill for transformative public school funding.

“We are at a moment here where we can actually begin to turn the corner in our public education system.” https://t.co/rMpu1BOPwW

Princeton Study: Private school tuitions rise after state voucher rollout: “The promise of more access to private education that school vouchers were supposed to provide, is pretty much being negated by schools raising tuition.” https://t.co/eVB9wEYj4S

[BASD Proud Parents @basdproudparent]

Just a quick reminder, in light of #BrownAt70: Public schools are the only schools who must commit to serving and welcoming all.
