The Pennsylvania General Assembly must adopt a fair education funding formula AND provide the funding investments needed to ensure that every student has an opportunity to learn.
Why is this important?
State lawmakers are returning to Harrisburg for the Fall 2013 sessions, as our public schools face unprecedented cuts to educational programs and increases in class sizes. Our state legislature has failed to provide the “thorough and efficient system of public education” mandated by the Pennsylvania Constitution. We must stand together now to demand that our legislature take action: we need sufficient state funding for our public schools and this funding must be allocated in a rational and fair way so that every student in Pennsylvania has an opportunity to learn. The legislature must immediately act to adopt a fair, accurate, and transparent funding formula and provide the resources to fund it.
