Earlier this summer, a major California Superior Court
decision, Vergara

and attendant job protections, including seniority-based layoffs more commonly
known as "last in, first out."
While it may not have garnered national attention, a proposed
policy here in Pennsylvania
holds similar potential to reshape teacher staffing policies on a broad
scale.

Corbett may finally have found an effective strategy to counter
that attack.
He is pounding the Republican-controlled Legislature for not
acting on legislation to rein in a $50 billion pension debt that, he argues, is
driving up property taxes, hurting families and squeezing out money for
classrooms. He is also doing something he arguably has not done before on any
issue: making the case in near-daily public events across the state, with plans
to continue doing so for the rest of the summer.

Gov.
Tom Corbett said Friday he plans to speak soon with House and Senate
leadership about his repeated calls for pension reform, but he's staying mum
about whether he plans to call a special
session to compel legislators to return to Harrisburg and take up the issue.
"I have not made up my mind on that," he said on a
stop at a Hummelstown coffee
shop where he continued his stump for pension reform. Corbett encouraged school officials and
business owners to take their concerns about pension-related costs to their
legislators; he
already has.

The issue may be one of the most contentious in state
budgeting, and everyone seems to agree that something needs to be done - even
those who insist that there is no crisis - but few agree on what to do. With
insignificant, incremental changes politically popular and any real reform a
political land mine, the problem has only grown, while the solutions have been
pushed aside. The problem itself begins with the amorphous and preemptive
term pension reform.
But there are a few simple truths - and some simple math - that
should right policymakers who have been floundering around the term for years.
A guide to Pennsylvania
Pennsylvanians are being buried in an avalanche of debt that
threatens to swallow up the state's economy.
That's what Gov. Tom Corbett has been saying during his campaign tour
across the state. After years of
gridlock on the issue in Harrisburg ,
the governor is now enlisting the help of voters in his effort to overhaul the state's pension systems for
state workers and public school employees.
The Republican has identified that item above all others as crucial to
getting the state on the right track, but state lawmakers are divided about what needs to be done.
Something everyone seems to agree on is that taxpayers need
some relief from raising the staggering $50 billion needed to replenish the two
retirement funds. State officials estimate each taxpayer would have to
contribute about $13,000 to wipe out that debt.
The crisis is causing financial pain for state lawmakers and
school districts as they struggle to find more money to cover what has been
promised to state workers.
"Over the past decade, pension payments at the county's
nine school districts have ballooned by $31 million, or about 356 percent,
Corbett said. Statewide pension costs during that time have increased by $1.9
billion, or about 280 percent, he said. He noted those skyrocketing expenses
have forced school districts to raise taxes on homeowners and business
owners."

everyone in Pennsylvania ,"
Corbett said. "It does create real problems for many families of all

SUGARLOAF — Gov. Tom Corbett

have to do is look at the numbers,” Corbett said. “It’s a problem.” Corbett was at Tom’s Country Kitchen on Route

to urge legislators to bring property tax relief and pass meaningful pension

Democrats say increased
public education funding, not pension reform, will bring property tax
relief.
Capitolwire.com — Under The Dome™ Friday, July 18, 2014
State Democrats teamed up with the liberal-leaning Keystone Research
Center on Thursday to refute Gov. Tom
Corbett's pension reform tour, which continues through the end of the week with
stops in northeastern and central Pennsylvania .
During a one-hour conference call, State Treasurer Rob McCord, House Minority
Leader Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny, and Keystone Research Center Executive
Director Dr. Stephen Herzenberg, told reporters that increasing public
education funding — not pension reform — will bring real property tax relief.
The governor's campaign for pension reform, in recent weeks, has tied the
passage of House Bill 1353 — sponsored by Reps. Mike Tobash,
R-Schuylkill, and Warren Kampf, R-Chester, and often referred to as the Tobash
hybrid plan — with slowing the growth of property taxes over the next several
decades. “There is no sort of property tax relief waiting in the wings if just
there were a vote on the Tobash bill,” McCord said. “This is a dangerously
misleading proposition.” Dermody criticized Corbett for telling voters in Pittsburgh that the
Tobash plan was only three votes short in the Senate and eight votes short in
the House, saying the governor only “wants a legislative win for his election.”
“If he succeeds in making this false connection in people's minds … it's a
horribly recklessly misleading connection,” McCord said. “Bad things sometimes
happen very quickly in legislative bodies.” Instead, Dermody says that
increasing funding in public education will give school districts the ability
to make pension payments without turning to tax increases each year. “What we
need is leadership," he said. "We need new leadership. This running
around the state trying to blame everyone else for problems he caused is
wrong.” For a more in-depth read on how the Tobash plan's proposed savings

Gov. Corbett’s Pension
Arguments Debunked
House Appropriations Committee Democratic Chairman Joe Markosek
July 17, 2014
Gov. Corbett’s push for pension “reform” appears to be nothing
more than a desperate attempt to distract the public’s attention from his
budget crisis and severe cuts to public education. The governor is misleading
Pennsylvanians when he claims passing pension “reform” will reduce local
property taxes. The Corbett-Tobash
pension plan failed to gain traction in the legislature for good reasons: it
does not produce any near-term budgetary savings for the state or school
districts, nor does it pay down the pension debt any faster than the reform
plan the state has in place (Act 120 of 2010). In fact, no matter how deeply
Gov. Corbett cuts benefits for future workers, it will not provide any
near-term budgetary savings for the state or school districts – therefore, it
will have no effect on local property taxes.
Gov. Corbett’s pursuit of pension “reform” begs the question: Is
“reform” more about his ideology, rather than what makes the most financial
sense? When you hear Gov. Corbett use the following talking points and false
choices as justification for harshly cutting retirement benefits for future
workers, consider the counter-arguments.

HARRISBURG — As he works to shore up his GOP base, Gov. Tom Corbett needs to
improve polling numbers to keep money flowing from the Republican Governors
Association, a group that is flush with cash, and other big donors, national
analysts say. Corbett remains the
incumbent most at risk among 22 governorships Republicans must defend on
ballots this fall, many analysts agree. In one of his latest ads, Corbett took
a punch at the Democrats' nominee, millionaire businessman Tom Wolf of York County
Wolf has led Corbett,

strategy for the governor, analysts said.
“You have to offer hope to donors,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of

“For an incumbent, his numbers are dreadful.”

Property tax reform efforts
spring eternal
WITF Written by Mary
Wilson, Capitol Bureau Chief | Jul 17, 2014 3:53 PM
State lawmakers have snubbed two different efforts to reduce
property taxes buoyed by recent activism on the issue. But for every season,
turn, turn, turn. Recently proposed tax
shifts fit into one of two categories: statewide or local. But a nascent effort
from Rep. Dave Reed (R-Indiana) combines both approaches. "With the increased discussion on
property taxes, over the last year or so, I thought maybe it's the right time
to try to put together another proposal that kind of meshes some of the
different thoughts together," Reed said.

Letters to the
Editor by JULIA SAPPEY, West Chester
on July 18, 2014 at 12:00 PM,
School districts with less wealth receive more state aid: This
has been true for decades in Pennsylvania
and nearly every state in the nation. Yet Jan Murphy's July 14 article did
not provide important context: When it comes to state and local funding for
education, being poor is anything but helpful for school districts. Student outcomes – standardized test scores,
college access and job placement rates – are negatively correlated with
poverty. One reason for this is that students in high poverty areas do not have
adequate education resources.
The state funding structure does not do enough to remedy this
inequity. Even when the state gives high-poverty districts more money, they
still have less money than wealthier districts, and have more high-need
students.

The new system, known as the "Danielson Framework," breaks

On each element, administrators assess teachers on a

Auditor joins investigation
of 19 Ohio
Akron Beacon Journal By Doug Livingston Beacon Journal

11:15 AM
As the FBI and the U.S. Department of Labor continue to
investigate three Ohio
charter schools, the Ohio Auditor of State is casting a wider net. Ohio Auditor Dave Yost said conversations in
June prompted his office earlier this month to investigate whether employees of
Horizon and Noble academies, a chain of 19 charter schools in Ohio , purposefully inflated performance
scores by manipulating student tests. The
19 Ohio charter schools are operated by
Concept Schools, which manages 30 charter schools in six Midwest
states. The company was founded by Turkish men, who also control a private real
estate company called New Plan Learning, which collects millions of taxpayer
dollars in rent from the charter schools.
Financial review of D.C.
charters includes new scrutiny of management contracts
The D.C. Public Charter School Board released its annual review of

have contracts with outside management companies, expenditures
of taxpayer dollars that are difficult to track.
At least 14 schools — about 25 percent of the city’s
charters — pay fees to nonprofit or for-profit management companies, and those
companies’ public financial disclosures vary widely, according to the board’s
review. The schools pay management fees ranging from 3 percent to
100 percent of their total revenue.
Several schools “have an operating agreement with a management
organization that prevents the kind of transparency necessary to assure that
schools are operating appropriately,” the board wrote. But the board’s
executive director, Scott Pearson, said the majority of contracts do not
present cause for concern.
How Tests Make Us Smarter
New York Times By HENRY L. ROEDIGER III JULY 18, 2014
TESTS have a bad reputation in education circles these days:
They take time, the critics say, put students under pressure and, in the case
of standardized testing, crowd out other educational priorities. But the truth
is that, used properly, testing as part of an educational routine provides an
important tool not just to measure learning, but to promote it.
"To sum up, we don’t learn much from
standardized accountability, and we have lost a great deal by giving it so much
prominence."
COMMENTARY
Here's Why We Don't Need
Standardized Tests
Education Week By Greg Jouriles Published Online: July 8, 2014
There are two main arguments against using standardized tests
to guarantee that students reach at least a basic level of academic competency.
The first is radical: These tests are not necessary. The second—less radical
and more familiar—is that, even if standardized testing were an efficient
benchmark of basic skills, the costs associated with it are too high.
Standardized tests are unnecessary because they rarely show
what we don't already know. Ask any teacher and she can tell you which students
can read and write. That telling usually comes in the form of letter grades or
evaluations that break down progress on skills. So trust the teacher. Publish
grade distributions. Locally publish a compilation of evaluation reports.
Release a state or national report reviewed and verified by expert evaluators
with legislative oversight.
