LEARN-PA

Public school superintendents fighting for fair education funding, charter reform and the next generation of school leaders.

[LEARN-PA @learnpateam]

Will #pabudget pass once again without charter funding reform?

[PA School Boards Association @PSBA]

SB 733 will send approx. $600 million taxpayer dollars to unaccountable private schools and organizations, lessen educational opportunities for all students, and lead to funding cuts and higher property taxes for communities. Act now: https://t.co/OfVKQPdcqd #Advocate4PublicEd

10 reasons to oppose #SB1
10- Public funds should not be spent on schools who pick and chose their students.

9 - SB1 funding for private and religious schools will grow to $1 billion in 5 years and $3 billion in 10 years.

8- Today a school district can give a poor performing charter school another year to show progress, and agree to close voluntarily if it fails. Under SB1 this second chance goes away.

[LEARN-PA @learnpateam]

Ten reasons to oppose #sb1
7 -This is progress? A charter school will no longer be allowed to pad its board of directors with family members or pay them a salary. I feel better already. @pacharterchange @EdVotersPA @PASenateGOP @PaSenateDems @LauraLyJohnson

6 -From the annals of Crazytown – A district will have to close its online academy and set up a new cyber charter school – so the district will pay tuition to itself. Huh? @PACharter @pacharterchange @PASenateGOP @PaSenateDems @EdVotersPA @PSEA_GR

[LEARN-PA @learnpateam]

@AJLivingston7 @PASenateGOP @PaSenateDems @pacharterchange @PSEA_GR Close the bad charter schools and open better ones. It's all about competition.

5- The proposed State Charter School Commission will have less than 3 months to approve a new $5 million-$10 million charter school. No money down! Easy application! Guaranteed approval! @PASenateGOP @PaSenateDems @pacharterchange @PSEA_GR

4- More @PACharter = more FAILED charter schools. Across the US one out of every three charter schools has gone belly up. Turns out its kinda hard to run a school.

10 reasons to oppose #SB1 -
2- Seven unelected people in Harrisburg with no ties to your community will have the power to open a @PACharter school in your neighborhood that YOU will pay for. #skyrocketingpropertytaxes
@EdVotersPA @pacharterchange @SenWilliamsPA @SenatorHughes

[LEARN-PA @learnpateam]

10 reasons to oppose #SB1
1 - It offers an aggressive increase in funding for private and religious schools and a massive expansion of @pacharter and cyber charter schools, whether local communities want them or not. @PaSenateDems @PASenateGOP

(1/2) Today the Senate Education Committee will consider a package of bills (SB 1 and SB 733) that would amount to the largest transfer of resources out of public schools in history—and one of the worst attacks on public education we have ever seen.

[LEARN-PA @learnpateam]

⁦@RepCiresi⁩ says we are the the sixth most underfunded district in the state - they need funding relief to finally give their students the education they need.

[LEARN-PA @learnpateam]

⁦@GovernorTomWolf⁩ my plan would save $375 million while endure charters have the funds they need. Why “today’s student are tomorrow’s leaders. “

[LEARN-PA @learnpateam]

⁦@pottstownschool⁩ ord prez opens event with ⁦@GovernorTomWolf⁩ to reform ⁦@PACharter⁩

[Public Interest Law Center @PubIntLawCtr]

Facing a huge structural deficit, Erie's superintendent laid off hundreds of school staff. Our leaders in Harrisburg's solution? "Do it again."

It's time for the General Assembly to stop passing the buck and #FundOurSchoolsPA.

@Lennymcallister @pacharterchange @PPSnews @WBASDSuper @PSBA @pasbo_org @EdVotersPA @DeAngelisCorey @PACharter @BroadAndLiberty Charter schools are a lot like gerrymandering. The schools pick the students not the other way around.

[LEARN-PA @learnpateam]

Thanks to Betsy DeVos three charters schools expanding - more funds leaving chronically underfunded school districts and their students with less. @pacharterchange @PPSnews @WBASDSuper @psba @pasbo_org @EdVotersPA

@Lennymcallister @pacharterchange @PPSnews @WBASDSuper @PSBA @pasbo_org @EdVotersPA @DeAngelisCorey @PACharter @BroadAndLiberty But public schools do graduate more than 50% of their students.
