PA Ed Policy Roundup February 7, 2016: Pennsylvania #pabudget impasse undermining local schools;
"holding the line" in Harrisburg
Time for Gov. Wolf to
issue a new budget plan without the first one settled
Inquirer by Angela Couloumbis, HARRISBURG BUREAU. Updated: FEB 8, 2016 — 1:07 AM
HARRISBURG - This
time last year, talk in the Capitol swirled around how newly elected Gov.
Wolf's first budget was going to be bold and controversial. It was to be an early test of whether the
mild-mannered Democratic governor with the polished business resume and the
famously unpredictable Republican-dominated legislature could put aside
political and policy differences and achieve something. Few could have predicted just how messy that
experiment would get. Nearly 12 months
later, the governor finds himself still wading through a stubborn and mentally
exhausting stalemate over his proposed spending priorities for the current
fiscal year. And now he has to
unveil a budget for the next one. On
Tuesday, Wolf will address a joint session of the legislature and implore
lawmakers to embrace some of the same core ideas he advocated last year: more
money for public schools, and a permanent solution to gaping deficits that have
plagued the state's budgets for more than half a decade.
Meanwhile, school districts
borrow to stay open, which means more costs to taxpayers for fees and
interest. The Philadelphia
School District so far has borrowed
$825 million, incurring additional costs of $4 million, all because of the
wonderful way the Keystone
State
It's Pennsylvania
by John Baer, Daily News Political
Columnist. Updated: FEB 8, 2016 — 3:01 AM EST
YOU KNOW WHY they
didn't want to do a budget presentation last Tuesday, right?
It was Groundhog
Day. Too fitting for Harrisburg :
same stuff, over and over again.
So it's this
Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, which is also appropriate: the day before a season of
ashes and sacrifice. So here we go. Gov. Wolf - he of optimism absent reason - on
Tuesday will address a joint session of the Republican legislature in the House
chamber - a.k.a. home of the Flat Earth Society - right around noon. This is so GOP leaders can then have Wolf's
budget proposal for lunch. That's what
happened last year. Probably will happen this year. Pennsylvania , you may know, is without a complete budget
since last June. It faces a huge deficit. Negotiations have been fruitless. And
there's little evidence things will get better soon. Some blame Democrat
Wolf, saying he's naive and unable to understand - let alone deal - with the
caught-in-quicksand culture of the Capitol.
Others blame "the party of no," suggesting that neither LBJ
nor Monty Hall could make a deal with these guys. Either way, nothing
moves, rancor reigns, and reconciliation waits in limbo.
For his 2nd budget, Gov.
Wolf needs to hit the 'reset' button: Dennis Roddy
PennLive
Op-Ed By Dennis Roddy on
February 06, 2016 at 11:00 AM, updated February 07, 2016 at 7:35 AM
A former Corbett administration speechwriter,
Dennis Roddy, of Pittsburgh
Gov. Tom Wolf has a
tricky gig in the theater of politics this week, brazenly unveiling a second
budget while the first remains frozen in political amber. Even in the best of climates, a budget speech
has a certain aroma of futility. A
single speech will no more pass a budget than a lecture in science will educate
a guinea pig. The budget speech is
poetry. The budget process is math. The mischief is that
if you botch one, you make the other harder.
By Tom Corbett's fourth year, everybody around him thought they had the
answer and they all dipped their hands into the prose to the point that the
only thing missing from the governor's budget speech was the governor's voice. Nobody has ever heard of an eloquent
committee. Nor have they heard much of Tom Corbett lately.
Public deserves better from Harrisburg
GoErie Editorial February
7, 2016 01:01 AM
As we process the
political bluster and campaign-style zingers already coming out of Harrisburg , it's hard to
regard the start of the budget process in the state capital with anything but
dread. The sinking feeling starts with
the reality that Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf on Tuesday will propose a new budget
for the state before he and the Republican majorities in the state House and
Senate have finished work on the current one. The state limps along with a
stopgap budget amid a climate of sniping and gridlock. Wolf has signaled that on his signature
issue, at least, his 2016-17 budget proposal will be another round in a
political struggle that's raged since about this time a year ago. He'll again
seek hefty increases in education funding, which was his top issue in a 2014
campaign that saw him elected by a wide margin.
He said his budget will assume education funding for the current fiscal
year will be at the level agreed to in a scuttled budget deal in December with
GOP legislative leaders. And he'll propose another 3.3 percent increase for
2016-17.
State budget stalemate enters unpredictable future as
Gov. Wolf readies next year's plan
The state of Pennsylvania is entering
uncharted territory. With this year’s
state budget still very much unfinished business, Gov. Tom Wolf on Tuesday will
introduce a spending plan for the fiscal year that starts July 1, ensuring a
complicated and uncertain process of negotiating two budgets at once. “The one thing we know is this is
unpredictable,” said G. Terry Madonna, political analyst and Franklin
& Marshall College
'Erosion of trust' in government as budget impasse
hits day 223
At the beginning of
a new state budget season, Gov. Tom Wolf and the Republican Legislature remain
entrenched in their positions negotiating the last one. It’s an ideological standoff with no end in
sight. And on day 223 of the stalemate, compromise appears as elusive as it did
in July with each side blaming the other.
“The governor is going to
continue to work on [his 2015-16 spending plan] and unfortunately Republican
leaders have not been willing to work with him,” Wolf’s spokesman Jeff Sheridan
said. Jennifer Kocher, spokeswoman for
Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, acknowledged the governor was willing to
meet Republicans on two of their priorities — pension reform and liquor
privatization — but raising taxes to further fund education has been a hardened
position he’s unwilling to move away from.
With few exceptions,
school districts seek insurance against uncertainty
Intelligencer By Gary Weckselblatt, staff writer Posted: Monday, February 8, 2016 6:00
am
Since the adoption
in 2006 of Act 1, Pennsylvania 's property tax
law, the Hatboro-Horsham
School District
What's more, the
district never even applied for exceptions on items such as retirement and
special education costs, which would have allowed for a higher tax increase. This year is different. Hatboro-Horsham has applied for exceptions in
its 2016-17 preliminary budget that could nearly double a potential tax
increase from the 2.4 percent index to 4.78 percent. And it's hardly alone. Most districts in Bucks
County and eastern Montgomery County
Besides
Hatboro-Horsham, Abington, Centennial, Central Bucks, Lower Moreland, New
Hope-Solebury, North Penn, Pennridge, Quakertown and Upper
Dublin are seeking the authority to raise taxes anywhere from 3.14
to 6.54 percent. Bensalem, Bristol , Morrisville,
Neshaminy and Pennsbury also passed preliminary budgets to leave open the
option of using exceptions to exceed their respective index rate, if necessary,
officials said. Only Bristol Township ,
Council Rock, Palisades, Souderton and Upper Moreland
have passed resolutions to stay within the index. The uncertainty of state funding, along with
efforts at property tax reform, are the key reasons. While districts are
mandated to formulate spending plans for 2016-17, the governor and legislature
have yet to finalize a state budget for the 2015-16 school year.

crafting budgets despite uncertainty at state level

County Springfield School District Springfield
director of operations, said, adding that that included the transportation and
special education subsidies. He
explained that this is an approach they’ve taken the last few years. The onus then falls largely on the district
taxpayers, who fund 84 percent of the budget. One percent is funded federally. When the subsidies are not increased, Mooney
explained, local taxes are used to fill in the difference. “Unfortunately, it creates a larger burden on
the local tax base,” Mooney said.
District
officials still uncertain of their financial status despite release of
emergency funding.
BY CHRISTINA TATU OF THE MORNING CALL February
8, 2016
Several Lehigh
Valley school districts are currently trying to settle teacher contracts while
their state aid remains in limbo— a task education officials say has become
“extraordinarily difficult” at a time when districts are unsure of their
financial future. A big part of the
problem is that personnel costs — salaries and benefits ——make up about 67
percent of a school district’s expenditures. So negotiating raises and health
care payments can be tricky. “You can’t
afford to make a mistake, and you can’t afford not to know what your financial
position is going into the bargaining process,” said Jay Himes, executive director
of the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials. Locally, Easton ,
Northampton and Southern
Lehigh are among school districts that are in the early stages of
negotiations as the state’s budget stalemate enters its seventh month. Last month Gov. Tom Wolf released $2.4
billion in basic education emergency funding to the school districts, said
officials from the State Department of Education. It’s not clear, however, when or if
additional emergency funding will be released, Himes said.

The Daniel Boone
School Board's finance committee is talking about cost-saving measures aimed at
staving off potential real estate tax increases and negative fund balances that
could be a result of the state's budget stalemate. "Hypothetically, our fund balance could
be in the negative by June," Assistant Business Manager Michael Miller
said at a committee meeting Thursday. Business Manager Loren
Small said the district's preliminary budget, which shows a 6 percent real
estate tax increase, is based on the worst-case scenario in which state help
would be stalled or postponed.

Watching the
proliferation of charter schools in Philadelphia
and across America
reminds one of the monotone pronouncement of the part-robot, part-human Borg as
they conquer planet after planet in Star Trek: "Resistance is
futile." The National Alliance for
Public Charter Schools says the number of charter students has increased
sixfold in 15 years to nearly three million. They attend more than 6,800 public
charter schools in 42 states and the District
of Columbia . California
ranks first, with 1,234 charters; Pennsylvania
is 10th, with 175. More than 400 new charters opened this school year, but 270
others closed for various reasons - a reminder that charters, like traditional
schools, vary in quality. The question
of quality was at the root of the recent showdown involving John Wister School in Germantown .
Citing improvements at Wister, Philadelphia
schools Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. withdrew a proposal to turn it into
a charter, only to have the School Reform Commission overrule him.

television commercials or online advertisements, sponsored by seemingly

'Dark Money': How a conspiracy of billionaires is
undermining American democracy
Post Gazette Book
Review By Glenn C. Altschuler February 7, 2016 12:00 AM
In the late 1980s,
Richard Fink, the principal political aide of Charles Koch, laid out a
blueprint for a takeover of American politics. The first phase required
investments in intellectuals and think tanks to produce ideas and turn them
into marketable policy initiatives. The next phase involved subsidizing
“grass-roots” citizen groups that would elect politicians primed to enact the
policies — and along with “special interest” lobbyists, keep the pressure
on them and government agencies. Faced with serious
threats to their energy businesses from environmentalists in and outside the
government, Charles and David Koch (whose father was a founding member of the
John Birch Society) committed hundreds of millions of dollars to this
“vertically and horizontally integrated” plan to establish a libertarian,
anti-tax, anti-regulation, anti-union, anti-social welfare, pro-corporate
America. In “Dark Money: The Hidden
History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right,” Jane Mayer,
a staff writer for The New Yorker and the author of “The Dark Side: The Inside
Story of How the War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals,” provides
an extraordinarily well-documented account of the influential, interlocking
organizations with innocuous names created by the Koch brothers.
"The intensifying
courtship of ultra-rich political partisans, which is occurring in private on
both sides of the aisles in luxury resorts and phone calls, stands in stark
contrast to the public discussion on the campaign trail, which is dominated by
the concerns of the lower- and middle-class just struggling to get by. The
phenomenon ― and the findings of POLITICO’s analysis of the top 100 donors ―
illustrates the unprecedented influence of the ultra-rich in the second
presidential cycle after the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, which cleared the way for
unlimited campaign spending and led to the creation of super PACs"

The 100 biggest
donors of 2016 cycle have spent $195 million trying to influence the
presidential election ― more than the $155 million spent by the two million
smallest donors combined — according to a POLITICO analysis of campaign finance
data. The analysis found that the
leading beneficiaries of checks from the top 100 donors were Jeb Bush's
floundering campaign for the GOP nomination (a supportive super PAC received
$49 million from donors on the list), Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton
(super PACs dedicated to her raised $38 million from top 100 donors)
and Ted Cruz's insurgent GOP campaign ($37 million).

K12 Inc. has weathered a tumultuous period of changes over the past few
years. Its enrollment numbers and overall performance have disappointed
