To House GOP: 'Time To Get The Job Done' On Revenue Package
WESA By KEVIN GAVIN • August 2,
2017
Gov. Wolf tells 90.5 WESA's Kevin Gavin the Senate revenue package
to pay for state spending is " a logical step in the right
direction."
Nearly five weeks after adopting a $32 billion budget for this
fiscal year, state lawmakers are still arguing over how to fund it—precisely,
how to fill a $2 billion shortfall in revenues.
“It’s time to get the job done,” said Gov. Tom Wolf. The governor said he supports a revenue
package barely approved
by the state Senate, 26-24, last Thursday.
“It's a responsible step in the right direction,” Wolf said. “It
provides the revenues to pay for the things the members of the Senate and the
House overwhelmingly said they wanted to spend.” The Senate-passed
plan includes borrowing $1.3 billion against the commonwealth’s
annual share of the multistate, multiyear settlement with tobacco
companies. The revenue package also counts on $571 million in new or
increased taxes, including hikes in taxes on phone service, electricity
consumption and a reinstatement of a levy on gas utility bills. “No one wanted to be voting for tax
increases,” said
Senate Republican leader Jake Corman. “Unfortunately we’re basically
out of options.”
As
Pennsylvania's budget battle drags on, Gov. Wolf tries new negotiating tactic:
Keep quiet
Post Gazette by ANGELA COULOUMBIS
Harrisburg Bureau 7:00 AM AUG 3, 2017
HARRISBURG — Over the last six weeks, Gov. Tom Wolf has cut a pair
of ribbons, hosted nearly a dozen roundtables and discussions on everything
from tech jobs to protecting senior citizens from fraud, toured businesses and
signed a half-dozen bills, his public schedule shows. None of the events dealt with balancing the state budget.
As the battle over how to pay for Pennsylvania’s nearly $32 billion
spending plan drags into its fifth week, the Democratic governor is trying a
new tactic: near invisibility. Mr. Wolf
has not issued any big, public warnings about the dangers of not having a
timely budget, as he has in the past two years. Nor has he expressed even the
slightest frustration over the breakdown in talks with the
Republican-controlled Legislature. He hasn’t been spied walking into
legislative offices or convening meetings with legislative leaders in the
executive offices, either. Both House
Majority Leader Dave Reed, R-Indiana, and House Speaker Mike Turzai,
R-Marshall, have complained over the last few weeks that the governor has been
disengaged. “We haven’t had a whole lot
of interaction with him directly for several months now,” Mr. Reed told
reporters as he raced back and forth between offices during the thick of
negotiations last month. One thing is
clear: Wolf has changed his approach, and people in the Capitol have noticed. Mr. Wolf has said that he doesn’t negotiate
in public, and that he remains available to meet with legislative leaders.
A
tax on gas drilling is a necessity in an unsatisfying spending plan
Lancaster Online Editorial by The LNP Editorial Board August 2,
2017
THE ISSUE: Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf allowed the state budget to
become law July 10 — without his signature — but it lacked a revenue plan. The
Associated Press reported Thursday that the state Senate had approved a revenue
plan that “includes heavy borrowing and hundreds of millions of dollars in tax
increases, including on Marcellus Shale gas drilling, consumers’ utility bills
and online purchases.” The tax on drilling is expected to generate about $100
million per year. The plan next goes to the House where it is expected to face
resistance among GOP leaders.
So the Senate held its schnoz and passed a revenue plan that went
down about as easily as a ball-bearing sandwich. “The only winner is the beast that is state
government,” said Republican state Sen. Scott Wagner, who is running for the
GOP nomination to challenge Gov. Wolf. We wouldn’t be going out on a limb to assume that many
Pennsylvanians share Wagner’s pessimism.
If this plan passes the House, it will once again fall on the taxpayers
to help compensate state government for years of shoddy budgeting. We didn’t get to this point by accident. The
galling part is that we were forced to watch helplessly as the Legislature
spent money while ignoring looming disasters, and is now turning out its
pockets looking for help.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education on Wednesday released the
proposed state plan to comply with the federal Every Student Succeeds Act
(ESSA). The plan is available in English
and Spanish on
the state Department of Education website.
Public comment is accessible online, in English and Spanish, and will
close on August 31. ESSA replaced No Child
Left Behind as the federal education law in 2015 and addresses several factors,
including testing, academic standards and teacher evaluations. States must submit a plan to the federal
government by September 18. The state
Department of Education also announced the development of the Future
Ready PA Index, a new school report card that measures academic growth, school
climate, graduation rates and readiness for opportunities after high school.
ESSA:
THE EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT
PENNSYLVANIA'S CONSOLIDATED STATE
PLAN
PA Department of Education Website August 2, 2017 On December 10, 2015, President Barak Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. Developed and passed with strong, bipartisan support, ESSA replaced No Child Left Behind (NCLB) as the nation's main education law.
ESSA advances ESEA’s promise of ensuring that all students – from pre-kindergarten to postsecondary, as well as low-income students, students of color, students with disabilities, English Learners, and other historically marginalized students – have access to a world-class education that prepares them for college, career, and life.
For Pennsylvania, ESSA presents two important opportunities – the chance to move away from the prescriptive policies and unintended consequences of NCLB, and toward state-level efforts that enjoy broad, bipartisan support, including more equitable and predictable funding for public schools and valid measures of school performance that look beyond standardized test scores.
Pennsylvania’s proposed ESSA State Plan aligns well with the education vision and strategies of Governor Tom Wolf and Education Secretary Pedro A. Rivera:
·
Historic investments in education funding;
·
Diverse measures of school success;
·
High quality early childhood education;
·
Investment in great teachers and leaders;
·
STEM innovation and capacity;
·
Expansion of career ready pathways; and
·
Community schools

Pa. unveils new school accountability system that puts less emphasis on
standardized testing
WHYY Newsworks BY KEVIN MCCORRY AUGUST 2, 2017
The Pennsylvania Department of Education will unveil a new school
quality metric in 2018 — dubbed the Future Ready PA Index — that it believes
will foster a more holistic student experience, one less narrowly focused on
state standardized tests. The change was
announced Wednesday as part of PDE's
plan to comply with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). That
is the flagship federal
education law, updated under President Obama in 2015. Under that law, states were given more leeway
in how to set education policy and spend federal public school dollars. "It's provided Pennsylvania with a once in
a decade opportunity to revisit our assessment, accountability, and student
support systems, and make changes with greater autonomy than we've been able to
do in the past," said department deputy secretary Matthew Stem. "It's
really given us an opportunity to focus on more holistic supports and holistic
instructional strategies." Pennsylvania
will still have a strong, federally required commitment to standardized testing
with scores broken down by subgroup, but Stem says the new plan will push
schools to foster better critical thinking and collaboration skills. He says this will happen, in part, based on a
change in how the state evaluates school quality and reports the results. "We believe that trying to use one
number to say that one school is better than another is a flawed
approach," said Stem.
ESSA: Pennsylvania
plans to pay less attention to students' standardized test scores
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette MOLLY BORN mborn@post-gazette.com 1:28 PM AUG 2, 2017
Pennsylvania has unveiled its proposed new plan to track the
performance of its more than 1.7 million students, which includes a broader
measure of academic success and places less emphasis on how they perform on
standardized tests. “If there's one
thing we heard from every stakeholder, it's that we spent too much time on our
standardized assessments,” said Matthew Stem, deputy secretary for elementary
and secondary education at the state Department of Education. On Wednesday, the Department released a draft of the 133-page proposal
under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act. Passed with bipartisan support in
2015, ESSA marked the end of No Child Left Behind, the former federal education
law that critics said placed too much emphasis on standardized testing. The new law requires states to take a more
comprehensive look at student achievement and create a plan, due by Sept. 18,
on how they will establish and measure performance by the new standards. So
far, 17 states have submitted proposals. The full ESSA plan will be implemented
in the 2018-19 school year.

Draft of Pa.'s plan for measuring school performance released
Penn Live By Jan Murphy jmurphy@pennlive.com Updated on August 2, 2017 at
7:58 PM Posted on August 2, 2017 at 5:31 PM
A draft of Pennsylvania's new report card for
school performance released on Wednesday proposes moving away from
generating a single aggregated score for school and replacing it with a
dashboard of indicators to show how it is measuring up. Called the Future
Ready PA Index, the latest version of a school report card would put
emphasis on academic growth of students, school climate through a robust
chronic absenteeism measure, attention to four-year and extended-year
graduation rates, and assessments of postsecondary readiness. It also calls for
having students spend less time taking standardized tests. The comment period is open until Sept. 2. The
state must submit its plan to the U.S. Department of Education by
September 18. The multi-faceted plan
addresses a myriad of areas of including increasing college and career
readiness, bolstering teacher recruitment and retention, and focusing on school
and student equity.

Reporter Of The Morning Call August 2, 2017
For years, parents and educators have railed that the federal law
No Child Left Behind law created a culture in which teachers are forced to
teach to a test and young children are overwhelmed by the high-stakes exams. With No Child Left Behind now being replaced
by the Every Student Succeeds Act, Pennsylvania is listening to those concerns. It wants to reduce the time students spend
taking standardized tests and lessen the importance of the exams in rating the
performance of schools, according to state plan released Wednesday to comply
with the federal law signed by President Barack Obama in 2015. The state’s ESSA plan also includes long-term
goals of raising the graduation rate, emphasizing career awareness in
elementary school and reducing chronic absenteeism.

It probably comes as no surprise that the bulk of public school teachers with the highest average salary in 2016-17 live in the counties surrounding Philadelphia, where the cost of living is generally higher than in other parts of the state. But teachers in some southcentral Pennsylvania school districts have average salaries that aren’t too shabby either. According to data from the state Department of Education, York County’s Dallastown Area School District comes in with the highest average full-time teacher salary in this region at $84,701.

The Downingtown-based 21st
Century Cyber Charter School is reaching new frontiers this school year with the opening of an
office in Murrysville. The office,
located in the Blue Spruce Shoppes center on William Penn Highway, will house
up to 15 employees, including six full-time teachers. It also provides space
for students to sit for proctored state tests and to join in-person activities. “This is really a result of parent and student requests in this
part of the state,” said Benjamin Ruby, the school's director of education.
Having an office in Western Pennsylvania will allow the school to bring in more
teachers who know the area well, he said, adding that helps with meeting local
students' needs and planning field trips.
Unlike some cyber charter schools, teachers with 21CCCS are required to
report to the office every day, Ruby said.

Philly,
and other Pa. school districts, can learn from Chester City's radically
transformative youth courts | Opinion
Inquirer Opinion by John Fan Updated: AUGUST 2, 2017 — 6:22 AM EDTJohn Fan is a junior studying philosophy and mathematics at Swarthmore College.
I first stepped into a Chester classroom last summer, as a
volunteer for youth court. It was my first exposure to urban education in
America. And it was the first time many of those fifth graders had seen a
college student, let alone a foreigner from China. In a youth court, peer volunteers hear cases
of student offenses that would otherwise be managed by the principal or
teachers. Students play the roles of judge, bailiff, youth advocate, jury
foreperson, and jurors. I was working in Chester with public interest
lawyer Gregory Volz to teach students how to run such courts. Chester City is considered one of the poorest
cities in America and is in one of the most under-resourced school districts.
Over four weeks, I taught the students how to speak confidently, ask effective
questions, and help misbehaving students recognize and fix their mistakes. School-based youth court programs were
originally devised as an alternative to punitive school discipline that
disproportionately affects students of color. According
to the American Civil Liberties Union, students who are removed
from school due to misbehavior are significantly more likely to be involved in
the juvenile justice system the next year. This phenomenon, known as the
“school-to-prison pipeline,” is a national crisis. I was initially skeptical that a student-run
disciplinary program could be more effective than one handled by professionals.
I was wrong.
What’s
the link between charter schools, political donations and teacher certification
in New York?
Washington Post Answer Sheet Blog By Valerie
Strauss August 2 at 4:47 PM
In New York state, most teachers
of publicly funded schools have to be certified through a state-run process.
Now, that may change. Many of the
state’s publicly funded charter schools may soon have the right to certify
their own teachers with their own processes. (In some states, charter school
teachers don’t have to be certified at all.)
The specific proposal is being considered by the board of trustees of
the State University of New York (SUNY) and a decision will be made shortly.
The trustees oversee the SUNY Charter Schools Institute, which authorizes a
good number of charter school operators in the state, including the well-known
Success Academies charter network. New
York charter leaders, some of whom have been pushing for the right to certify
their own teachers for a long time, argue that it will help them solve teacher
shortages and give them more flexibility over whom to hire.
How
a Savings Program Could Be Used to Expand School Choice
Education Week Politics K12 Blog By Alyson
Klein on August 2, 2017 3:22 PM
President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Education
Betsy DeVos came to Washington promising a massive new federal investment in
school choice. So
far, they're having trouble getting momentum—and money—for vouchers or a
tax-credit scholarship. But some school choice
supporters may have another policy up their sleeves: allowing parents to save
for private school the same way many of them save for college, through the use
of so-called 529 plans. These plans—named for a section of the federal tax code—are a
tax-advantaged investment fund that works somewhat like an IRA or 401(k)
retirement plan. Parents or guardians put a portion of their income in the fund
and can receive a tax credit or deduction, depending on the specifics of the
plan, which can vary state-by-state. Right
now, 529s are primarily for college expenses. But the Heritage Foundation, a
favorite think tank for the Trump team and Republicans in Congress, would
love to see the accounts expanded to K-12 schools.
Studies show that school vouchers lead to lower math and reading scores. So why has the Trump administration embraced them?
IN BRIEF
·
The concept of vouchers originated with economist Milton Friedman.
In 1955 he argued that the government should not run schools but instead offer
parents educational stipends.
·
Vouchers are the centerpiece of the Department of Education's
school reform plan. Until now, Washington, D.C., has been home to the only
federally funded voucher program in the U.S.
·
A handful of other cities and states have experimented with small
programs. Studies have found mixed to negative results in reading and math but
higher high school graduation rates.
In a 1955 essay, free market
visionary Milton Friedman proposed a revolutionary model of education. Rather
than seeing public schools as a rich local resource and driver of social
mobility, he suggested they were a reflection of government overreach. Because
a stable and democratic society depends on an educated electorate, he reasoned,
the government should pay for children to go to school. But that did not mean
the government should run schools. Instead, Friedman said, it
ought to require a minimum level of education. And to finance that education,
it should give parents “vouchers redeemable for a specified maximum sum per
child per year if spent on ‘approved’ educational services.” Breaking the
government monopoly on education, he argued, would allow “consumers” (parents)
to support the best “product”—that is, to enroll their kids in the most
effective and highest-performing institutions. Mediocre public schools,
subjected to market forces, would improve or perish. he idea captured the imagination of elected
officials and policy makers all over the world. Now President Donald Trump's
secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, is preparing to give the scheme its first
national rollout in the U.S. She has made voucher programs the centerpiece of
her efforts to enhance educational outcomes for students, saying they offer
parents freedom to select institutions outside their designated school zone.
