Webinar: Your Role in Fixing Pennsylvania’s Unconstitutional Education Funding System – Sep 7
Posted by PA Schools Work on September 5, 2023
Join PA Schools Work for our next webinar on Thursday, September 7th at 7PM (note the evening time) to talk about how the Basic Education Funding Commission can change the game for Pennsylvania public schools — and how you can play an important part in fixing our public education funding problem in the Commonwealth.
The Commonwealth Court ruled definitively that Pennsylvania’s school funding system is unconstitutional and the General Assembly must begin work to overhaul it. The 2023 Basic Education Funding Commission now has the task of not only reviewing the distribution of funding via the Fair Funding Formula, but also with identifying how much each district needs in order for the state to meet its constitutional obligation that every student receive a “meaningful opportunity to succeed academically, socially, and civically, which requires that all students have access to a comprehensive, effective, and contemporary system of public education.”
Come learn what this will mean for PA public schools and how you can help ensure the Commission successfully completes its important task.
