Restoring $1 billion in funding in “Schools that Teach” and “Jobs that Pay”
“With a historic investment in education, Governor Wolf’s
inaugural budget proposal answers the call of school leaders and educators who
have struggled over the past four years to provide their students with a
world-class education in the face of deep budget cuts,” said Acting Secretary
Rivera. “The education of Pennsylvania ’s
children is paramount to our future success and to strengthen the middle
class. “Governor Wolf’s 2015-16
Budget solidifies his commitment to ensure that schools receive the resources
they need to help students succeed. We must provide a rigorous curriculum,
support career, technical and special education programs, and offset the costs
associated with charter school tuition.”
House Republicans see some
positives to Gov. Wolf’s pension proposal
PLS Reporter Author: Jason
Gottesman/Wednesday, March 4, 2015
Some House Republicans are praising portions of the pension
proposal laid out by Gov. Tom Wolf in his budget address Tuesday. In that address, Gov. Wolf proposed borrowing
$3 billion to refinance some of the PSERS unfunded liability with the debt
service to be paid by $185 million per year obtained through revenues from
liquor modernization. He also called for
reforming the investment strategies of both state-run pension systems so as to
reduce the cost of fund management fees, which is hoped to save $200 million
annually and reduce the unfunded liability by more than $2 billion over its
anticipated life. Wednesday, some House
Republicans were finding positives about the plan, though they uniformly agreed
it does not go far enough to solve the problem.
“I think he got one or two things right,” said Rep. John McGinnis
(R-Blair), who laid out his own pension reform plan at a morning press
conference.
Rep. McGinnis holds a Ph.D. in finance from Penn State
and was a finance professor at Penn State —Altoona
before his election to the General Assembly.
Their View: Harrisburg needs to own pension mistakes

Township and serves on the State College Area School District
Board of School Directors. His views do not necessarily reflect those of the
district or the board.
Dear Gov. Wolf, Thank you for a bold budget proposal. Your
breathtaking suite of reforms promises fairness for Pennsylvania . What is inherently unfair,
however, is passing the cost of Harrisburg ’s
risky decisions about the Pennsylvania School Employees’ Retirement System to
school districts and property owners. We’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg;
responsible actuarial analysis puts PSERS total unfunded liability in the
neighborhood of $60 billion, or $12,000 per household. I’ll take you at your word: You’re serious
about improving public school funding, and you welcome new ideas. The same goes
for the General Assembly: They’re serious about pension reform. If so, then allow me to share some
alternative thinking about pension funding. We teach our kids to take
responsibility for their mistakes. Harrisburg ’s
pension funding mistakes are born from a bipartisan attitude that kicking the
can down the road is better than honesty, pragmatism and action.

Funding formula could provide
clarity for state's school districts
Justine
Coyne Reporter-Pittsburgh Business
Times Mar 4, 2015, 7:56am EST
In years past, schools have been operating under what Mike
Crossey refers to as "MUGA budgeting." That's short for Make It Up As You Go Along,
said Crossey, who serves as President of the Pennsylvania
State Education Association. "That's
not how schools should operate…You can't set a realistic budget without knowing
what the state will provide," Crossey said. But districts may not have to do that for long. Along with the
potential to see more money in their coffers next school year, Pennsylvania schools
districts may also see the enactment of a real basic education funding formula,
something the state has lacked for a decade under Gov. Tom
Wolf's proposed budget, released Tuesday. Under development by a bipartisan
Basic Education Funding Commission established by the General Assembly, the
formula would provide the state a long-term strategy for financing its schools.
"Wolf's plan shifts the burden back to
the state, restoring its role as a prime supporter of basic and secondary
education. Over time, the governor wants the state's share of paying for public
education to reach 50 percent. It now stands at 35 percent, among the lowest
levels in the nation."
DN Editorial: 'Breathtaking'
DN Editorial: 'Breathtaking'
Philly Daily News Editorial POSTED: Wednesday, March 4,
2015, 12:16 AM
BY THE TIME Gov. Wolf completed his budget address to the
Pennsylvania Legislature yesterday, it was easy to imagine that at least 100
jaws had finished dropping to the ground. One Republican legislator called it
"breathtaking," though he didn't mean it as a compliment.
Admittedly, it was almost too much to absorb in one sitting. For starters, the governor called for a broad
array of tax increases, including an increase in the state income tax, from
3.07 to 3.7 percent; a rise in the state sales tax, from 6 percent to 6.6
percent; a 5-percent tax on natural gas extracted from the Marcellus Shale; and
a $1-a-pack increase in the tax on cigarettes and their modern high-tech
equivalents. That is only part of the
story. Wolf also offered solutions to problems that have vexed Harrisburg for years, seeking to break the
logjam on pension reform, the liquor-control system, on corporate taxes and
high local property taxes.
Wolf delivers on his promise
to boost Pennsylvania
education spending
By Eleanor Chute, Mary Niederberger and Bill Schackner / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
March 4, 2015 12:00 AM
In his first budget proposal, Gov. Tom Wolf delivered on his
campaign promise to increase support for education, boosting spending and
savings by about $1 billion and spreading it around to preK classes, school
districts, community colleges and public universities.
The proposal includes:
• $6.13 billion in basic education funding, an increase of 7
percent or $400 million. The total includes accountability and Ready to Learn
block grants. It also takes into account his expectation that the Legislature
will enact a new funding formula for spending this money after the bipartisan
Basic Education Funding Commission issues its report on June 10.
• $1.1 billion for the special education subsidy, an increase
of 9.6 percent or $100 million.
• $256.5 million combined for PreK Counts and Head Start
Supplemental Assistance, both of which provide preschool education, an increase
of about 88 percent or $120 million. That would add 14,000 children to the
17,000 now served.
• For higher education, double-digit increases in general
support for the 14 state-owned and four-state related universities, part of a
two-year plan to restore tens of millions of dollars in campus cuts from
previous state budgets. Community colleges would see a $15 million increase. In
return, the governor has asked for a tuition freeze at the community colleges
and State System.
Essential Pittsburgh : Response and Analysis of Governor
Wolf's Budget Address
NPR Pittsburgh 90.5 WESA By ESSENTIAL PITTSBURGH • MAR 3, 2015
Audio Runtime 29:50
Today 90.5 WESA presented live coverage of Governor Wolf's
budget address to the Pennsylvania Legislature in Harrisburg from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. WESA Senior News Editor Mark Nootbaar joined
host Paul Guggenheimer to provide commentary and analysis following Wolf’s
address. Also contributing to the conversation
by phone were John Callahan, Senior Director of Government Affairs for
the Pennsylvania School Board Association,
and Eric Montarti, Senior Policy Analyst with the Allegheny Institute for
Public Policy.
Callahan focused his analysis on Wolf’s plans for education in
the Commonwealth, which include increased funding for public schools. While
Montarti spoke primarily to the governor’s plans for tax policy, among which is
a plan to lower the corporate tax rate while closing loopholes.
"Wolf's budget proposes to establish a
uniform tuition rate for all cyberschools of $5,950 for each regular education
students they enroll. Their tuition rates for special education students would
be determined by the severity of a students' disability. That figure was determined by averaging the
per-student cost to educate students in the five highest performing
intermediate unit-run cyberschool programs, which teach students through online
courses, Rivera said. Then 10 percent more was added to provide a buffer for
administrative and other costs cyberschools incur."
Charter school advocates
think Gov. Tom Wolf is out to shut their schools down

The treatment that Gov. Tom Wolf's education budget gives to charter schools has
advocates for these taxpayer-funded independent public schools wondering if he
is trying to put them out of business.
Between his proposed one-size-fits-all tuition rate for cyberschool
students, which teach students through online courses, and plan to eliminate
charter school fund balances, they say all signs point to that being his goal. "The governor's proposal should be seen
for what it really is, a blatant first step in killing charters school options
at the expense of children," said a statement from the Pennsylvania Coalition on Public
Charter Schools, which represents both cyberschools and brick-and-mortar
charter schools. But Education
Secretary-designate Pedro Rivera insists that is not the governor's plan. He
said the governor recognizes charter schools are part of the public education
landscape and a viable option for the 127,600 students who are enrolled in the
state's 190 charter schools. "We
have to nurture and support the good ones and hold accountable those who are
performing poorly," Rivera said.

"One major way the bill would weaken
local control is by stacking the state charter school appeals board, which has
generally been even-handed and approved about 50 percent of the charter school
applications that reach it. The bill's $4 million in savings for Philadelphia would
probably be wiped out by hundreds of millions of dollars in new costs for
charter schools."

Charter and Cyber Charter
Reforms Measure Heads to Senate
PA House Republican Caucus 3/4/2015
This legislation brings fair and responsible changes to charter and cyber charter school funding and strengthens provisions regulating the brick and mortar charter and cyber charter schools while preserving parental options for our Commonwealth’s students,” Turzai said. “Brick and mortar charter schools, in particular, offer good and safe educational options for parents and kids in lower performing schools, and these reforms will strengthen accountability and parental choice.” House Bill 530 would create a Charter School Funding Advisory Commission to look at issues related to charter and cyber charter schools, including the development of a fair funding formula based on actual costs of educating a child in cyber charter schools.
Another View: Pa. ’s cyber charter schools face a threat in Harrisburg
Delco Times Letter by James Hanak, CEO, PA Leadership Charter
School , East
Goshen POSTED: 03/03/15, 10:29 PM EST |
To the Times: For years, Pennsylvania ’s
cyber charter schools have been roundly criticized for underperforming on the
state’s standardized tests (PSSAs). This is in part because cyber charter
schools attract many students from struggling school districts that have failed
to give these students a proper education.
So, this month, on its website, the state Department of Education
released the statewide SAT scores for 653 Pennsylvania high schools/charter high
schools. Of the 189 charter schools in the state, three of the top six charter
schools were cyber charter schools. The
top charter school was 21st Century Cyber Charter School in 63rd place with the
next charter school placing at number 116. The most amazing part of this report
is that all top eight charter schools accomplished their scores with 27 percent
less money than their traditional counterparts.
So, what do cyber charter schools get as a reward?
Currently in Harrisburg , the
state House of Representatives is considering a bill, sponsored by state Rep.,
Mike Reese, R-Somerset, that would cut funding for Pennsylvania
cyber charter schools by more than 5 percent across the board and by as much as
8 percent for students from Philadelphia and as
much as 15 percent from students from Chester .
ISSUE | CHARTERS Not so
appealing
Inquirer Letter by Debra Weiner, Quakertown March 4, 2015
Barely 30 days after serving as spokesman in the Corbett-era
Department of Education, Tim Eller has landed as head of an advocacy group that
will be working to influence Eller's former colleagues on the state Charter
Appeal Board. Eller's new employer is
committed to "excellence and accountability" for charters, but
Eller's statements belie this mission. While acknowledging that he hadn't read
the School District reports on 34 proposed
charters that were denied by the School Reform Commission, Eller urged all unsuccessful
applicants to appeal. Were Eller truly
concerned with charter school quality, he would be advocating commonsense
reforms and additional oversight capacity for the state and School
District .

DOWNINGTOWN >> Gov. Tom Wolf visited the STEM Academy
Wednesday following his 2015-16 budget address that supported increased school
funding while cutting property taxes. Wolf talked with students, teachers and administrators of the Downingtown Area School District
during a tour of the school. Wolf said the STEM Academy
shows that it is more than needed funding; it is about innovation, creativity
and imagination in schools. “What we saw
today was really the future of Pennsylvania ,”
Wolf said after his tour of the school ranked number one in the state in 2013
and 2014 by the Pennsylvania School Performance Profile. “And what I was trying
to say yesterday was really something that should be of self-interest.”
Hite releases updated plan
focused on neighborhood schools, turnaround strategies
Philly.com Homeroom Blog POSTED: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 2015,
10:14 AM
Superintendent William Hite will unveil his third action plan
for the city’s embattled school system Wednesday, which he says will help the
district better compete – but also require significant investment from the city
and state. Hite’s vision, referred to as
Action Plan v3.0, continues to focus on the core goals of getting all kids to
read on grade-level by age 8, getting all students to graduate ready for
college or career, and providing great teachers and principals at every school.
It builds on many of the strategies outlined in Action Plan v2.0 and adds some
new ones.
Among the new action items would be creating a turnaround
network that would seek to transform the lowest-performing 10 percent of
schools through a combination of Renaissance charters, contract schools and
district-run turnarounds, according to a draft released by the district.
Another strategy would be offering certain district-run schools 100 percent autonomy
over time, giving them a per-pupil allotment and allowing principals to
allocate the funds as they see fit, much like charters.
Hite's plan for Philly
schools echoes Wolf's call for equity, more funding
WHYY Newsworks BY LAURA BENSHOFF MARCH 4, 2015
Two leaders with a passionate interest in education released
documents as their guiding stars for fully funding Philadelphia 's public schools. The day after Gov. Tom Wolf presented his
proposed budget, Philadelphia Schools Superintendent William Hite released his
"Action Plan 3.0" Wednesday. The 50-plus page document spells out the
superintendent's plan for overlapping "networks" of schools with a
focus on bringing more equity – and more revenue -- into the school system. Equity is important, said Hite, because a
scarcity of district resources means not all students have access to a high
quality education.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf
Plans to Sharply Increase Education Spending
Education Week District Dossier Blog By Denisa R.
Superville on March 3, 2015 4:00 PM
By Benjamin Herold
Newly elected Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf used his first budget
address to call for a staggering increase in funding for public education in
that state—and to offer a dramatic repudiation of the policies of his
Republican predecessor. "Over the
past four years, Pennsylvania
took a step in the wrong direction by trying to balance our state budget on the
backs of schools," said Mr. Wolf, a Democrat. "That's why the very
first thing my budget does is restore the $1 billion in cuts to public
education that occurred under the previous administration." Last fall, Mr. Wolf, a businessman from York , Pa. , defeated Tom
Corbett, becoming the first challenger to oust an incumbent Pennsylvania governor in more than 40 years.
"The last 20 years make it clear I was
wrong.”
A stunning reversal on charter
schools
David Hornbeck was the Maryland State
Superintendent of Schools from 1976 to 1988 and the superintendent of the Philadelphia school
district from 1994 to 2000. For years he was a supporter of charter schools,
seeing them as an important tool in the school reform arsenal, and as Philadelphia ’s
superintendent, he recommended that more than 30 charter schools be allowed to
open. Now, in a reversal that is rare in education, he said this: “The
last 20 years make it clear I was wrong.”
Lawsuit asks the Court to ensure that all
students -- including those living in low-wealth districts -- have the basic
resources they need to meet state academic standards.
