PA Ed Policy Roundup March 9, 2016:
Advocates urge lawmakers to fix Pa.’s school funding crisis
Supporters of education funding rally in Harrisburg
CBS 21 BY LARA GREENBERG TUESDAY,
MARCH 8TH 2016
HARRISBURG, Pa. — The ongoing
budget battle continues as those supporting education funding rallied at the
Capitol Tuesday, hoping to push lawmakers to make education and passing the
budget a top priority. For five years,
Susan Spicka has been carrying a sign that says "All the Places You Won't
Go Because of the PA Budget." "Our
children need lawmakers to take actions because we need them to fund our
schools now," Spicka, a mom from Shippensburg, said. She's been fighting the cuts being made at
her 11-year-old and 13-year-old children's schools in Shippensburg. "This year, we're talking about things
like music and sports and libraries closing," Spicka said. She was one of dozens rallying at the Capitol
for lawmakers to invest $600 million in education over the next two years for
her kids and millions of others.
“Advocates at the rally
say that schools have already borrowed more than $1 billion since the budget
impasse, just to stay in operation. They say the interest from those loans will
cost districts over $40 million.”
‘There’s no money and it is hurting our students,’ Pennsylvania
lobbyists call for new school funding system

2016, BY TTALACKA, UPDATED AT 06:02PM, MARCH 8, 2016
Harrisburg, Pa. - State
educators, parents and local leaders are calling for a new funding system for
schools in Pennsylvania. They all gathered in the state capitol today, calling
for a change to what they say is unfair funding to schools. Overcrowded
classrooms, cuts in programs and a general lack of funding were just some of
the concerns voiced by speakers today. They added that the budget impasse has
only made the problem worse, and are calling on state legislators to pass a
budget immediately. "There's no
money and it is hurting our students," said Kia Hinton of Action United.
"It is hurting our communities and it's not fair. We're doing our job and
we need the legislators here to do theirs."
“The Campaign's more than
50 education advocacy organizations agree that in order to provide a strong
foundation for the sustainable, predictable and long-term investment that is
needed in public schools, lawmakers must adopt the fair funding formula
recommended by the bipartisan Basic Education Funding Commission (BEFC), and
make a significant new investment of $600 million over this budget year and the
next.”

Funding Press Release March 8, 2016
HARRISBURG (March 8, 2015) –
During a press conference today to increase support for fair funding for all of
Pennsylvania's public school students, educators and advocates supporting the
Campaign for Fair Education Funding urged lawmakers to fix Pennsylvania's
school funding crisis. Parents, superintendents and faith-based leaders shared
stories about the toll the last six years of underfunding education has taken on
students and communities, including: Dr. Amy Burch, Superintendent, Brentwood
Borough School District; Dr. Bart Rocco, Superintendent, Elizabeth Forward
School District; Dr. Nancy Hines, Superintendent, Penn Hills School District;
Susan Spicka, parent, Shippensburg Area School District; and the Rev. Eric
McIntosh, St. James Episcopal Church, Penn Hills. They said extracurricular
programs have been lost, classroom sizes have ballooned, school libraries have
shuttered, and the number of teachers and support staff have been greatly
reduced, resulting in lost opportunities for students that they will never get
back.

State Education Secretary Pedro Rivera may
have left the state Capitol on Tuesday feeling as drained as a student after a
grueling day at school. He sat
before the House and Senate appropriations hearing for a duration that when
combined could have counted as a full school day – and it came complete with
scoldings and a quiz. The conversations
touched on a myriad of topics where unanimous support for preschool was voiced
along with mixed feelings about the efficacy of charter schools and questions
about where the money was coming from to pay for the hundreds of millions of
dollars in increases Gov. Tom Wolf is proposing for 2016-17. The following are some highlights from the
Senate budget hearing:

Schools feeling pain over state's budget 'failure'
Bucks County Courier Times By
Gary Weckselblatt, staff writer Posted: Wednesday, March 9, 2016 5:30 am
The Centennial School District
began cutting spending in November when the state budget was only five months
late. In January, it placed a
"freeze" on purchases, paying only utilities and salaries. New
Hope-Solebury and the Souderton Area School District have also enacted a budget
freeze. Bristol Borough schools are in
an even more precarious position. The district needs to borrow money to pay its
bills, according to Christopher McHugh, the district's business manager,
because the summer's property tax infusion is too far off. "What we're seeing is a catastrophic
failure of government," said David Baugh, Centennial's superintendent. While school districts are trying to prepare
spending plans for 2016-17, the state has yet to finalize its budget for
2015-16, leaving districts hanging for nine months.

GOP legislators say Dem guv’s to blame for budget impasse
By Kathleen E. Carey, Delaware
County Daily Times POSTED: 03/08/16, 10:42 PM EST
UPPER DARBY >> State Sen.
Thomas McGarrigle, R-26 of Springfield, and state Rep. Jamie Santora, R-163 of
Upper Darby, decried the inavailability of basic education funding in the midst
of a months’ long budget standoff. McGarrigle called for Gov. Tom Wolf, a
Democrat, to be investigated by the state Auditor General’s office. “We have great concerns about this current
situation,” Santora said. “The money is sitting in Harrisburg. It’s sitting
there ready to be distributed ... We’re at a point now where we are starting to
hear from schools ... that come July for Upper Darby, they are in a crisis
mode, but this is crisis that can be averted very quickly.” Upper Darby Superintendent
Richard S. Dunlap Jr. called the situation is serious. “We may be forced to shut down
our school district, borrow $25 to $30 million to stay afloat, ruin our credit
rating and greatly slow down our efforts in raising student achievement in
light of the budget impasse,” he said. “This threat is very real and is being
faced by every school district in the commonwealth.” Santora said Haverford Township School
District faced a $1.8 million shortfall and William Penn School District was in
need of $11.5 million to continue operations. Wolf spokesman Jeff Sheridan gave
a recap of the situation from the governor’s perspective.

Auditor general's report prompts Sen. Pat Stefano legislation on
school board transparency
Beaver County Times Online By
J.D. Prose jprose@calkins.com March 8, 2016
In the wake of a scathing state
auditor general’s report on the Connellsville Area School District, a Fayette
County state senator is proposing legislation that would require school boards
to post online any employment offers to superintendents and principals at least
two weeks before voting on them. “This
legislation will give taxpayers an opportunity to examine the terms of
employment contracts that the local school board extends to key district
employees and provide their feedback, concerns or support to their elected
officials,” state Sen. Pat Stefano said in a statement Tuesday. “In a time of
tight budgets, and taxpayer concern over rising property taxes, it’s imperative
that the hiring process be as open as possible.” Stefano, R-32, Bullskin Township, was
responding to Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale’s report last week
that lambasted Connellsville Area for its financial mismanagement and the
hiring of multiple superintendents over the last few year, including
Superintendent Phil Martell, who was business manager for just five months
before he was named the acting superintendent in November and then named
superintendent on Jan. 27.
Here's why not all education $$ are created equal: Ashley DeMauro
PennLive
Op-Ed By Ashley DeMauro on March 08, 2016 at 11:00 AM
As the House and Senate
Appropriation committees meet this Tuesday to take up the state Education
Department's 2016-17 budget request, it's time to look at the widespread belief
that Pennsylvania's 500 school districts are woefully underfunded. Some are. But some are not. According to a
report released last year by the U.S. Census Bureau, Pennsylvania ranks
10th in the nation in per-pupil spending, beating out 40 states with an average
$13,864 per elementary-secondary student.
There are states on that list spending more than Pennsylvania yet
have lower
graduation rates, and there are states that spend less but do better than
Pennsylvania. If more money leads
to better schools, then why don't graduation rates match up to spending? And
why aren't Pennsylvania schools at the top nationwide? Maybe it comes down to how we go about
spending the dollars, not to how much we are spending.
Even MORE evidence that money actually matters to student achievement!
Center for Education Evaluation
and Policy Analysis by Dr. Ed Fuller FEBRUARY 22, 2016
Despite repeated claims that
“money does not matter”, solid research evidence continues to mount that money,
in fact, does matter to student outcomes. Yet, many state legislatures
have failed to return funding amounts to pre-recession levels and most
certainly have not invested in education systems to meet the higher
expectations for student outcomes adopted by most states in the past few years. Unfortunately, Pennsylvania is one of these
states. In fact, report after report continues to find that Pennsylvania has
one of the least equitable school finance “systems” in the country (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/pa-schools-are-the-nations-most-inequitable-the-new-governor-wants-to-fix-that/2015/04/22/3d2f4e3e-e441-11e4-81ea-0649268f729e_story.html)
and does not have a particularly adequate system either. Indeed, the governor
and legislature still cannot agree on last year’s budget that called for
increases in the fiscal investments in the state’s K-12 education system.
Fair Districts PA Coalition Established to Reform Redistricting
By Fair Districts PA website March
7, 2016
HARRISBURG --- Today,
organizations from across the state announced the formation of a new coalition
called Fair
Districts PA. The coalition's
purpose is to advocate for reform of Pennsylvania’s redistricting system to
make the process of drawing electoral districts impartial, transparent and
accountable. Congressional and state
legislative electoral maps are redrawn every 10 years following the national
census. In Pennsylvania, the process of
drawing those maps is controlled almost entirely by state legislators, a
conflict of interest that puts politicians in charge and takes away the rights
of voters. Some states - most notably
Arizona and California - have reformed the process by establishing impartial
citizen commissions and clear standards for how districts should be drawn. The
results have shown increased voter engagement and more competitive elections. Fair District PA’s priorities include:
·
Assigning the redistricting power to an
independent commission, of which neither the commissioners (nor members of
their immediate families) may be members of the government or political party
officials
·
Ensuring the transparency of the process
and meaningful opportunities for public participation
·
Addressing other causes of districting
unfairness
Mayor's pre-K plan gets a $15 million boost
The grant from the
William Penn Foundation will help create 1,500 new, high-quality pre-K slots by
2021.
WHYY Newsworks by Kevin McCorry March 8, 2016
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney's
plan to provide free preschool to all city 3- and 4-year-olds lacking access to
quality options is getting a major philanthropic boost. At an event Tuesday afternoon, The William
Penn Foundation announced a $15 million five-year capital grant that will allow
high-quality pre-kindergarten providers to expand physical capacity – paving
the way for creation of at least 1,500 new seats in the city by 2021. That will give tens of thousands of children
better opportunities over time and benefit the region economically, said board
chairwoman Janet Haas. "Clearly the
city needs all its citizens to be functioning at their very best potential, and
early childhood education is an important ingredient in that," she said in
a telephone interview. A recent study of
the Philadelphia area found that providers have little fiscal incentive to
provide top-tier early childhood education.
This grant aims to combat that phenomenon by rewarding operators with a
high-quality track record. Funds will be available only to pre-K operators with
a 3 or 4 rating on the state's Keystone Stars metric.
Kenney's pre-K plan gets $15 million boost
Inquirer by Julia Terruso,
Staff Writer. Updated: MARCH 8, 2016 — 5:35 AM EST
The William Penn Foundation will
commit a one-time, $15 million grant to improve and expand quality pre-K
facilities in Philadelphia. The
announcement marks the first major philanthropic investment in pre-K since
Mayor Kenney announced his goal to make such care accessible to all city 3- and
4-year-olds. "This means an
organization like William Penn is confident that this is the right initiative
and we're the right people to do it," Kenney said. The grant is projected to create space for
1,500 preschoolers in quality centers by 2021. Kenney's goal is 10,000 new
quality seats in Philadelphia over the next five years. "The research is really clear that
investing in early childhood education is one of the most productive
investments you can make," said Laura Sparks, executive director at the
foundation. The grant money will go into
the Fund for Quality, a local initiative that provides financial and planning
assistance to high-quality early childhood centers citywide. William Penn gave $4.6 million to the fund
when it was created in 2014.

Panel suggests range of new fees for New Hope-Solebury students
Intelligencer By Gary Weckselblatt,
staff writer Posted: Monday, March 7, 2016 10:00 pm
Every student in the New Hope-Solebury
School District could be charged an annual fee, and high school students could
be charged for parking under revenue-generating proposals suggested by a new
board.
In addition, the number of clubs and
activities could shrink if their costs are deemed prohibitive.
These were among suggestions considered
Monday night by the Budget Gap Closure Subcommittee, which voted Monday night
to draft a policy for the Finance Committee, which could ultimately forward a
plan to the school board for consideration.
The subcommittee was developed to help the district overcome a $4.1
million budget deficit for 2016-17. A spending freeze and retirement incentive
plan have helped reduce the red ink to $1.8 million. But it includes a 4.8
percent tax increase, twice the Act 1 index.
If a 4.8 percent tax increase is part of the final budget in June, it
would mean an average tax increase of $244.51, which would increase the tax
bill for a district resident with a home assessed at the district average of
$56,829 to $5,338.51.
A New Era for the Battle Over Teacher Evaluations
The Obama
administration encouraged more robust ways of assessing which educators were
doing a good job. Will its legacy last?
The Atlantic by THOMAS
TOCH MAR 8, 2016
The Obama administration has worked
hard to strengthen public-school teaching—a $400
billion-plus workforce, and perhaps the single
strongest lever in schools for raising student achievement. But just
after Thanksgiving, the president signed a major new education law that largely
abandoned the cornerstone of his teacher agenda: pressing states and school
districts to take more seriously the task of identifying who in the profession
was doing a good job, and who wasn't. Two
powerful forces at opposite ends of the political spectrum had attacked the
president’s strategy—teacher unions wanting to end the new scrutiny of their
members and Tea Party members targeting the Obama plan as part of a larger
anti-Washington campaign. As a result, the new Every Student Succeeds Act
terminates the Obama administration’s incentives for states and school
districts to introduce tougher teacher-evaluation systems. And the law
effectively bans the U.S. Secretary of Education from promoting
teacher-performance measurements in the future.
Frustrated GOP lawmakers
weigh move to impeach top Kansas judges
Lawrence Journal World By John
Hanna, Associated Press March 7, 2016, 2:00 p.m. Updated March 7, 2016,
2:37 p.m.
TOPEKA — Republican lawmakers in
Kansas, weary of conflicts with a judiciary that has been pushing for more
school spending, are beginning to act on a measure to expand the legal grounds
for impeaching judges. The move is part
of an intensified effort in red states to reshape courts still dominated by
moderate judges from earlier administrations.
A committee in the GOP-controlled Senate plans to vote Tuesday on a bill
that would make "attempting to usurp the power" of the Legislature or
the executive branch grounds for impeachment.
Impeachment has "been a little-used tool" to challenge judges
who strike down new legislation, said Republican Sen. Dennis Pyle, a sponsor of
the measure. "Maybe it needs to be oiled up a little bit or sharpened a
little bit." The proposal has
considerable support in a Legislature in which Republicans outnumber Democrats
more than 3 to 1. Nearly half the Senate's members have signed on as sponsors.
It's unclear whether its novelty could complicate passage. The serious consideration of the measure,
though, signals the exceedingly bitter political climate in the state.

Donald Trump's
Education Plan: Several Experts Fearful, Curious ... and Baffled
Education Week Politics K-12 By Andrew Ujifusa on March
7, 2016 7:38 AM
Donald Trump's thoughts about education policy are
mostly a black box. We know he doesn't like the Common Core State Standards. And
he thinks American students produce lousy test scores. But the
real estate developer hasn't weighed in with a comprehensive plan for public
schools, or talked in much detail about education, since becoming a contender
for the Republican presidential nomination.
So when education policy mavens and advocates contemplate a Donald Trump
administration and its impact on K-12, what do they see? In many cases, they're
confused or uncertain about what a Trump-led U.S. Department of Education would
do, or not do, if it even survives. But in some cases they have clear concerns,
or other thoughts about how he might significantly alter what's been happening
with federal education policy. (The
Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment about his education
policy platform.) Below, you can read
some of their answers to questions that touch on the federal government's
broader role in public schools.

Hello dear,
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well. Your thinking is different than other! and i like it much!! You will do great in future. please chake this out -
Many of the aspects of teaching a child occur through play. This is a result of the belief that children understand knowledge better when it is shown through play, whether it is drama, art or music. This is to satisfy the natural curiosity in kids and their tendency to understand better when 'make-believe' scenarios are utilized to teach knowledge.You can find more at:Look about: diploma of early childhood education and care
