Ed Policy Roundup Feb 24, 2017:
Fund
the Formula: PA Legislature passed basic ed funding formula overwhelmingly last
May: House 188-3; Senate 49-1. Now we need a commitment to fund it.
“The bipartisan fair funding formula
that was enacted last year disperses state dollars more fairly to our schools,
and if we want all students to be given the same opportunities for success, the
state must make significant and sustained funding increases in the upcoming
years. The Campaign for Fair Education
Funding estimates that to achieve fair and adequate school funding, the state
must increase its investment in public schools annually over time by nearly $3
billion. The gap only grows without consistent investment from the state.”
Governor’s Increase in Basic Education
Funding is Welcome, but more Investment is Needed Moving Forward
Public Interest Law Center
Website
(Harrisburg, Pa.) – The Campaign
for Fair Education issued the following statement on Governor Tom Wolf’s
proposal to increase basic education funding by $100 million in his 2017-18
budget proposal: We appreciate the
Governor’s continuing commitment to our public schools. The Governor’s proposed
increase of $100 million for public schools, driven out through the state’s
fair funding formula, is a welcome investment in a difficult budget year, and
it remains important to recognize that we need even greater increases going
forward to support all Pennsylvania students.
Read by 4th: How Philly plans
to get more kids reading by fourth grade
Inquirer by Kristen A. Graham, Staff Writer @newskag | kgraham@phillynews.com Updated: FEBRUARY 23, 2017 — 5:14 PM
EST
Fewer than half of Philadelphia
fourth graders now read at grade level. But a citywide, multiagency,
multimillion-dollar campaign aims to change that, doubling the number of
children who hit that goal by 2020. About
100 people gathered Thursday at City Hall to talk about the goals, progress,
and promise of Read by 4th, an effort of the School District, the city, and the
Free Library. Mayor Kenney, who was
honored as a “Reading Hero,” made it clear that the goal is “one of the most
crucial priorities” of his administration. With a push from Kenney, the city
has invested millions in pre-kindergarten programs and on community schools,
which embed social services in school buildings to help eliminate barriers to
academic success. A controversial tax on sugary beverages is to pay for the
programs. The Read by 4th campaign
aims to boost early literacy by improving the quality of reading instruction in
city schools, addressing barriers to student attendance, promoting summer
reading to ward off learning loss, and working with parents to help strengthen
students’ reading skills. William R.
Hite Jr. has made the goal a centerpiece of his superintendency. But a few
years ago, getting 80 percent of fourth graders reading on target seemed
“almost an impossible feat,” he said.

Over the past two years I’ve had
the privilege to visit dozens of schools across the Commonwealth. These visits
have given me the opportunity to join communities in celebrating the great
achievements schools are making every day, as well as engage in thoughtful
conversations with stakeholders about successes and the residual challenges
schools face from years of chronic under-funding. As a commonwealth, we’ve made great progress
in properly investing in education — finally climbing out of a funding hole that
forced our schools to make damaging cuts in programs and staff. Through
steadfast support, the governor secured more than an additional $640 million
for schools in his first two years. This year, when the state is facing
enormous fiscal challenges, Gov. Tom Wolf is continuing to prioritize our
students and advocate for additional funding education for a third straight
year. The additional $125 million in
K-12 funding that the governor has proposed will allow our schools to continue
to deliver the quality education that every student deserves. Schools across
the state will use this funding to continue to implement innovative strategies
in the classroom, and expand programs proven to prepare students for success
after they graduate.

2021 could be Pennsylvania’s most momentous redraw in a generation. GOP majorities are at historic highs, but a proposal to shrink the legislature could shake up the map. Democrats hold the trump card, but Republicans have the power to change the rules. PoliticsPA spoke with more than two dozen sources with knowledge of the upcoming reapportionment fight including lawmakers, consultants, reformers and more. Some were granted anonymity.
Pennsylvania’s next state-level redistricting is four years away, but the hands have already been dealt. A durable majority on the Pa. Supreme Court gives Democrats the trump card: the tie-breaking vote on the panel that draws state House and Senate maps. For the first time since 1990 Democrats will have the advantage during the redraw, which for state House and Senate districts is called reapportionment instead of redistricting. At the same time, Republicans have the ability to change the process. Amendments to the Pennsylvania state constitution can pass on a party-line vote in the legislature and aren’t subject to a governor’s veto – just a voter referendum.
Meet
the Math Professor Who’s Fighting Gerrymandering With Geometry
Chronicle
of Higher Education By Shannon Najmabadi FEBRUARY 22, 2017
A Tufts University
professor has a proposal to combat gerrymandering: give more geometry experts a
day in court. Moon Duchin is an associate professor of math and director of the
Science, Technology and Society program at Tufts. She realized last year that some
of her research about metric geometry could be applied to gerrymandering — the
practice of manipulating the shape of electoral districts to benefit a specific
party, which is widely seen as a major contributor to government dysfunction. At first, she says, her plans were
straightforward and research-oriented — "to put together a team to do some
modeling and then maybe consult with state redistricting commissions." But
then she got more creative. "I became convinced that it’s probably more
effective to try to help train a big new generation of expert witnesses who
know the math side pretty well," she says.
In part, she says, that’s because court cases over voting districts have
risen since a 2013 Supreme Court decision, Shelby County v. Holder,
struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Former President Barack Obama is said to be
making redistricting a focus after his presidency, and the former attorney
general Eric H. Holder Jr. is leading a new Democratic group targeting
gerrymandering ahead of 2021, the next time district lines will be drawn.
“The General Assembly, to which
Eichelberger was elected in 2006, has been an architect of that failing system
with years of inequitable and inadequate funding, including higher education.”
DN editorial: Eichelberger needs some
schooling on state's education issues
Philly Daily News Editorial Updated: FEBRUARY 23, 2017 — 7:26 PM EST
WE'D LIKE TO GIVE State Sen. John
Eichelberger the benefit of the doubt for a flap he created while addressing a
town-hall meeting with constituents in Carlisle. During a wide-ranging
discussion about education issues, Eichelberger turned his attention to
Philadelphia and complained that money was being misspent pushing minority
students into college instead of into vocational programs. "They're pushing them toward college,
and they're dropping out," Eichelberger said. "They fall back and
don't succeed, whereas if there was a less intensive track, they would." Some city and state leaders were outraged at
the suggestion that minority students should be put on a less ambitious track. We agree that vocational programs can be a
great alternative for some students, and that expanding options for all
students is key. In the days that followed Eichelberger's town hall, he
attempted to explain that that was what he meant all along. But we're still
troubled by his comments, for many reasons.
First, Eichelberger chairs the Senate Education Committee, which is
influential in determining education policy and funding. His comments showed a
less than sophisticated grasp of the many challenges in education across the
state. He said he was not faulting minority students for their abilities but
said they are products of failing urban school systems, of "12 years of a
very poor school."
Post Gazette By Angela Couloumbis and Kristen A. Graham / Harrisburg Bureau February 23, 2017 6:34 PM
Mayor Jim Kenney on Thursday
slammed as “racism” a state senator’s suggestion that inner-city students shouldn’t
be encouraged to attend college but instead steered toward vo-tech programs. “It’s racism and it should be
called out to be racism,” Philadelphia’s mayor said, leveling the sharpest
criticism yet against Sen. John Eichelberger, R-Blair County. “And you can see
what we’re up against.” Mr. Kenney said
he was angered when he read that Mr. Eichelberger, an influential chairman of
the Senate Education Committee, suggested to constituents at a town hall
meeting in his district last week that minority and inner-city public school
students should pursue vocational careers rather than being steered into
college. “They’re pushing them toward
college and they’re dropping out,” Mr. Eichelberger said at the sparsely-attended meeting in
his district near Carlisle. “They fall back and don’t succeed, whereas if there
was a less-intensive track, they would.”
In an interview earlier this week, the senator said his perspective
stemmed in part from a visit to Philadelphia and conversations about the city’s
schools. Speaking at a City Hall roundtable
on early literacy, Mr. Kenney called Mr. Eichelberger’s comments “ridiculous,”
and said they showcased the Philadelphia School District’s long-standing
struggle to get adequate funding from the state.

City: Soda tax brought in $5.7 million in
January, more than double expectations
Inquirer by Julia Terruso, Staff Writer @JuliaTerruso | jterruso@phillynews.com Updated: FEBRUARY 23, 2017 — 4:56 PM
EST
The city received $5.7 million in
collections for the first month of the sweetened-beverage tax, more than double
Revenue Department projections but less than the city needs in coming
months to reach its goal, officials said Thursday. The city had projected bringing in $2.3
million in January, which assumed that businesses would be slow to register for
the new tax and that some retailers might have stocked up on pre-tax products. To meet its target of $91 million per year,
the city will need to increase its intake to $7.7 million by its April
collection, maintain those numbers, and pull in about an additional $7 million
in unpaid taxes for the rest of the year. The figures are important if the
Kenney administration is to be able to continue financing its ambitious
expansion of early childhood education in the city.
Philly reaps $5.7M in first month of soda
tax; industry workers say they're paying the price
WHYY Newsworks BY TOM MACDONALD FEBRUARY 23, 2017Revenue generated by Philadelphia's new tax on sweetened beverages tax is beating projections, Philadelphia officials said Thursday. But those returns still will have to grow substantially to meet targets for the year, they added. In January, Philadelphia collected $5.7 million from the 1.5-cent-per-ounce tax, well above estimates as the program ramps up, said city finance director Rob Dubow. "In our quarterly report, we had $2.3 million," he said. "We knew there would be some growing pains and people had stocked up before the tax had going into effect, so we thought that the first month would be low." Pepsi salesman Chris Lemon said that success for the city has comes at a cost for those in the industry. Showing city officials his pay stubs for January, Lemon said, in his 10 years selling soda, he has never seen them so low. "Last week, I got $382. The week prior to that, I got $220," he said. "The week prior to that $261." Mayor Jim Kenney said he's highly skeptical that sales in Philadelphia are down as much as distributors claim.

Pittsburgh City Councilwoman
Natalia Rudiak will introduce legislation Tuesday creating an early childhood
task force charged with crafting a plan to expand affordable preschool.
The group will include members of
the Pittsburgh Public Schools, the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers, Allegheny
County Department of Human Services, the foundation community and Mayor
Bill Peduto, who has called early childhood education one of his two main focus
areas this year. The announcement also included the release of a new study on
the topic from the City of Pittsburgh. “The
report is a good start to quantify the need, but it is a call to action for a
plan on how we reach our goals — and this piece of legislation will create
the plan,” said Ms. Rudiak. She is not seeking re-election. About 1,500 children in Pittsburgh don’t have
access to full-day, high-quality preschool programming, according to a 2016
report from the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers. Only 16 percent of
center-based preschool providers here are considered “high-quality,” Ms. Rudiak
said.

Elissa Ridenour was stunned when
a friend approached her in the school cafeteria Thursday and said President Donald
Trump had rolled back federal protections for transgender students. His administration’s order, which
was issued Wednesday night through the Departments of Education and Justice,
reverses a directive put in place by Barack Obama that allowed transgender
students to use the bathroom or locker room that corresponds with their gender
identity. The new order places the issue in the hands of states and local
school districts, which now will be responsible for interpreting federal
anti-discrimination law. “I’m very
disappointed,” said Ms. Ridenour, 18. “I knew it could possibly come to this,
but I didn’t think it would happen so soon.”
Ms. Ridenour is one of three transgender students who filed a federal lawsuit against the Pine-Richland School District.
They sued last fall after the school board enacted a policy requiring them to
use facilities consistent with their biological gender.
“PA Cyber, which was founded in 2000 and

PA Cyber, Lincoln Park vital to Midland's future
Beaver County Times By Jared
Stonesifer jstonesifer@timesonline.com
February 23, 2017
MIDLAND -- The closure of ATI has
been a tremendous loss for the people and local government of Midland, but
that’s not to say everything is doom and gloom in the borough. Educational institutions like the
Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School and Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter
School are thriving in Midland. They employ hundreds of teachers and
administrators, and both contribute significantly to Midland’s tax coffers in
the process. For PA Cyber, the school’s
presence is hard to miss in Midland. The school is the largest employer in the
borough, after all. Brian Hayden, the
chief executive officer of PA Cyber, said the institution owns six buildings in
Midland in addition to a currently empty lot. PA Cyber also rents an additional
building for its operations. The school
employs 745 people across Pennsylvania, 305 of which work in Midland. Of those
745 total employees, 292 work remotely from home, but for tax purposes, those
employees are counted as working in Midland.
That means Pa Cyber pays a local services tax to Midland based on 597
employees, which comes out to more than $31,000 a year. In addition, Hayden
said 29 PA Cyber employees actually live in Midland, and they pay more than
$15,000 annually in local taxes.
‘The system is failing too many kids’ —
text of Education Secretary DeVos’s speech at CPAC
Washington Post Answer Sheet
Blog By Valerie
Strauss February 23 at 2:04 PM
Here
are the full remarks Education Secretary Betsy DeVos delivered Thursday at the
2017 Conservative Political Action Conference, as provided by the Education
Department:
Hello! Thank you for that warm
welcome. I always love the energy and enthusiasm CPAC brings together every
year. I’m Betsy DeVos. You may have
heard some of the “wonderful” things the mainstream media has called me lately.
I, however, pride myself on being called a mother, a grandmother, a life
partner, and perhaps the first person to tell Bernie Sanders to his
face that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. The media has had its fun with me, and that’s
OK. My job isn’t to win a popularity
contest with the media or the education establishment here in Washington. My
job as Secretary of Education is to make education work for students. But today, we know the system is
failing too many kids.
Betsy DeVos: 'Education Establishment' Has
Blocked Efforts to Fix Schools
Education Week Politics K12 Blog By Alyson Klein on February
23, 2017 3:31 PM
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy
DeVos urged conservative activists Thursday to help her fight against the
"education establishment," which she said has blocked students from
getting access to school choice and quality schools. "Our nation's test scores have
flatlined," DeVos told a roomful at the Conservative Political Action
Conference, sponsored by the American Conservative Union. "The education
establishment has been blocking the doorway to reforms, fixes, and improvements
for a generation. ... This not a Left or Right issue. This is an American
issue. We need education to work for every child. ... We have a unique window
of opportunity to make school choice a reality for millions of families." It's unclear how President Donald Trump and
DeVos plan to move forward on their school choice vision. Trump pitched a $20
billion voucher program on the campaign trail, but that might be difficult to
pass in Congress. Choice advocates are more optimistic about the prospects of
extending federal tax credits to corporations and individuals that donate
to scholarship-granting organizations.
And DeVos—who was greeted at the conference with cheers and shouts of
"We love you!"—criticized the Obama administration's now defunct
School Improvement Grant program, saying it cost more than $7 billion, but that
there's no evidence that it improved student results.
Trump’s withdrawal of guidance on
transgender student rights leaves bathroom questions up to schools and states
Washington Post By Emma Brown and Moriah Balingit February
23 at 6:22 PM
After the Trump administration
revoked federal guidelines on transgender student rights, officials from New
York to Washington to Tulsa moved quickly this week to assure their communities
that they would continue to allow students to use school bathrooms aligned with
their gender identity. But other districts had never
complied with the Obama administration’s guidance after it was issued in May —
and they don’t plan to do so now. That
leaves intact a patchwork of policies on transgender student accommodations
that varies widely across the country. Advocates for these students say the
result is that many will be forced to go through school being called by what
feels to them like the wrong name and being required to use what they feel are
the wrong bathrooms. Until this week, the federal
government had provided a uniform standard for how schools should resolve
sensitive questions concerning transgender students. “Having some type of national voice
indicating that this is how we want students to be treated created at least
something that everyone could look to,” said Jayne Ellspermann, a Florida
principal who is president of the National Association of Secondary School
Principals. “Basically, that compass has been removed.”
Betsy DeVos is
Publicly Polite, but a Political Fighter
New
York Times By RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA FEB. 23, 2017
Hours before President Trump rescinded a federal policy allowing transgender
students to use the school bathrooms that match their gender identities, his
education secretary, Betsy DeVos, met with a representative of gay and
transgender employees at the Education Department to warn of what was coming. In her presence, an aide assured the employee
that, as was widely reported, Ms. DeVos had resisted the move, according to
people briefed on the Wednesday meeting. Yet she gave no public sign that there
had been a rift within the Trump administration, or that she had come up short.
She joined in the announcement of the new policy,
and on Thursday, she told the annual Conservative Political Action Conference
that the earlier federal guidelines were “a very huge example of the Obama
administration’s overreach.” But people
who have known and watched Ms. DeVos through the years — as a leading advocate
of charter schools and school
vouchers, a former Michigan Republican Party chairwoman and a major Republican
donor — warn against thinking that she will be a meek team player. She may be
publicly gracious, even in the face of setbacks, they say. But in her home
state, she earned a reputation as a driven, relentless and effective political fighter, using her family’s vast
fortune to reward allies and punish foes, and working behind the scenes to pass
legislation and unseat lawmakers who opposed her.
