At a forum at Widener University Law School earlier
this week, David Thornburgh, the son of the former governor, and head of
the Philadelphia voter advocacy group, The Committee of Seventy, made a simple,
yet eternally profound observation. This Nov. 7, Election Day, he remarked,
will likely be a "low-information and low-turnout" state of affairs. One
wants Thornburgh to be proven wrong, but hard-won experience will probably
prove him right. And that's too bad. Across the ballot on Tuesday,
Pennsylvanians will make decisions that, even more so than races for the
General Assembly, Congress, the Governor's Mansion, and the White House, will
hit them directly where they live.
HB178: Gov.
Tom Wolf allows school bill to become law that alters decades-old teacher
furlough law
Penn Live By Jan Murphy jmurphy@pennlive.com Updated Nov

Gov. Tom Wolf is allowing a multi-faceted education bill to become law that
contains a controversial teacher furlough reform, a ban on "lunch shaming," and provides
$10 million more for tax credits for companies that donate to private school
scholarship funds. olf announced his decision on Friday afternoon that he will
neither sign nor veto this bill and instead will let the 10-day clock run out
on Monday, which automatically allows it to become law. "Governor Wolf
believes components of this bill are important: delaying the Keystone Exams,
expanding opioid education in schools, curbing 'lunch shaming', and providing
additional funding to help distressed school districts," said his
spokesman J.J. Abbott. "Though there are components of the bill that he
has concerns about, particularly Republican plans around teacher evaluation and
termination, he will allow it to become law but withhold his signature.
HB178: Gov.
Wolf will let education budget bill lapse into law

BUREAU Updated: NOVEMBER 3, 2017 — 4:20 PM EDT
HARRISBURG — Gov. Wolf on Friday announced that he
would allow an education-funding bill to become law although it contains a
provision, stripping seniority protection from teachers in layoffs, that has
angered an important part of his coalition. The bill, known as the education
code, authorizes spending for public school districts, but is packed with
policy changes for public schools. “Gov. Wolf believes components of this bill
are important: delaying the Keystone Exams, expanding opioid education in
schools, curbing ‘lunch shaming,’ and providing additional funding to help
distressed school districts,” his spokesman, J.J. Abbott, said in a statement.
“Though there are components of the bill that he has concerns about,
particularly Republican plans around teacher evaluation and termination, he
will allow it to become law but withhold his signature.”
The bill will become law Monday, ending a four-month
budget impasse. Teacher unions expressed dismay over the layoff language, which
relies on evaluations they believe are arbitrary.
HB178: Wolf
lets bill become law that weakens teacher protections amid other school policy
shifts
WHYY By Kevin McCorry November 6, 2017
Pennsylvania Gov.
Tom Wolf will allow a bill to become law that weakens teacher seniority
protections and gives school districts more flexibility in their rationale for
making layoffs.
School districts
now will be able to cite “economic reasons” as a rationale for furloughing
teachers. Previously, districts could only slash staff by closing schools,
cutting whole academic programs, or pointing to enrollment declines. State Rep.
Steven Bloom, R- Cumberland, said that’s bad public policy. “So they may
eliminate the art program, the music program, the languages program, or they
may close a school building — because that’s the only flexibility the current
law gives them,” said Bloom. The new law, which takes effect Sunday, will also
weaken teacher seniority protections. Previously, any layoffs had to be done in
inverse order of seniority — last in, first out. Under the new law, schools
must instead prioritize the state’s teacher effectiveness rating system, which
is based on a mix of classroom observations and student performance on state standardized
tests.
‘Free’ tuition:
A look at the cost of public education
Educators push for funding reform
The Sentinel by JULIANNE CAHILL Education/religion
editor jcahill@lewistownsentinel.com NOV 4, 2017
Editor’s note: This is the first article in a
series exploring the relationship between traditional public schools and
charter schools in Pennsylvania.
LEWISTOWN — There is no such thing as free
education.
According to the most recent data available, it cost
an estimated $4,051 to educate a regular education student in the Mifflin
County School District during the 2014-2015 school year, including government
subsidies based on average daily membership. In the same year, it cost
$7,414.97 to educate a student who lived within the district and opted to
enroll at a charter or cyber charter school. Both payments came out of
taxpayers’ pockets. Pennsylvania public schools, including charter and cyber
charter options, are funded through a combination of federal, state and local
tax dollars. Traditional school districts receive funds from those channels
directly, while charter schools are funded through tuition payments made by
those districts. MCSD Superintendent James Estep said charter and cyber charter
schools are an important element of school choice, but said the law is in need
of substantial reform. Charter tuition is determined through a formula based on
what it costs to educate a student within the public district where they
reside. This cost is calculated by dividing the district’s total expenditures
by its average daily membership. Students do not pay tuition to attend charter
schools; tuition for Mifflin County residents who enroll in charter schools is
paid by MCSD. At first glance, the formula seems it would be equitable.
However, school leaders say the system does not reflect the actual cost
necessary to educate students.

'yes' on Pa. tax question? Don't expect relief | Editorial
By Express-Times opinion
staff Updated Nov 5, 6:08 AM; Posted Nov
5, 6:00 AM
Here's a prediction: On Tuesday, Pennsylvania
voters will overwhelmingly approve a referendum that would, theoretically,
give local
taxing districts the power to eliminate property taxes on homes. Who
wouldn't support that? Here's another prediction: Once that change is written
into the state Constitution, the legislative juggernaut to ease property taxes
on homeowners will remain stuck in neutral. This ballot
question isn't a remedy. It's a framework for
legislative action to allow school districts, municipalities and counties to
offer homestead tax exemptions of up to 100 percent of the median value of
homes within their borders. That could wipe out property taxes for some people,
but whether local taxing bodies take that route is entirely up to them. The rub is that no municipal council or school board
would wipe out its primary source of revenue without another vehicle (sales,
income or other taxes) to fill the void. By now local officials are accustomed
to do-it-yourself tax revisions from Harrisburg, promising a sledgehammer that
turns out to be a pair of tweezers.
Former
charter parents countersue Agora Cyber founder
Inquirer by Martha Woodall, Staff
Writer @marwooda | martha.woodall@phillynews.com Updated: NOVEMBER
3, 2017 — 5:36 PM EDT
When a defamation suit against several former
Agora Cyber Charter School parents ended in 2016 after 7½ years, two of the
parents vowed to sue Dorothy June Brown, the founder of the school, who had
targeted them. Ira and Angelique Smith, who said legal expenses from the case
caused them to fall behind on mortgage payments and lose their home in
Parkesburg, Chester County, have made good on that promise. The Smiths have
sued Brown for wrongful prosecution. Also named in the complaint filed in
Montgomery County Court are charter schools and businesses Brown worked with or
created. The couple are seeking more than $50,000 in damages, punitive damages,
and attorneys’ fees for years of emotional and financial hardship they
allege Brown caused because they questioned the operation of the
taxpayer-funded cyber school, which enrolls students from across the state. The
slander and defamation suit Brown lodged in 2009 alleged that parents had made
statements implying that she was “corrupt, incompetent, and possibly criminal.”
In their counter suit, the Smiths allege Brown filed the defamation suit and
continued it without believing in the truth of its claims with the intent of
harassing and maliciously damaging the couple and other Agora parents. Among
other things, the parents had expressed concerns that a management firm
Brown had created — Cynwyd Group LLC– was being paid by Agora for services that
were being performed by K12 Inc., a for-profit firm in Virginia that was
contracted to provide management and technology services. The defamation case
was put on hold after federal authorities charged Brown with defrauding Agora
and other charter schools she had founded of $6.5 million in 2012.
On
schools, Kenney decided Philly can’t wait any longer
WHYY By Avi Wolfman-Arent Dale Mezzacappa November 5, 2017On one of his weekly school visits, made faithfully since taking office, Mayor Jim Kenney was standing in a classroom — he thinks it was a fourth or fifth grade — when he was distracted by water dripping down from a leaky roof. “How long has it been that way?” he asked the teacher. “Three years.” Kenney called a roofer he knew. The leak was fixed within days — gratis. “The bureaucracy would say that’s not the way we do it,” Kenney said. “But I’m not gonna allow a kid to sit in a leaky classroom for three years because paper work’s not moved from one place to another.” Nearly every Philadelphia mayor before Kenney has been a peripheral player in the city’s education drama, able to offer only small fixes and, sometimes, a bully pulpit. When it came to healing the whole system, their powers were limited. Starting next year, however, Kenney will have unprecedented say in the direction of Philadelphia’s schools. This week he took upon himself full responsibility for improving the overburdened and underfunded system, making a dramatic call for an end to the state-dominated body that has run it for 15 years and for the return of a local Board of Education, with all nine members appointed by him.
Mayor
Kenney's plan to save Philly schools: Surprising and gutsy | Editorial
by The Inquirer Editorial Board Updated: NOVEMBER
3, 2017 — 4:20 PM EDT
At the end of the day, Philadelphia schools belong
to Philadelphians. That’s why we applaud Mayor Kenney for his courageous move to take back the schools
from state control. And make no mistake: It is courageous. For the last
16 years, mayors have been able to operate free from accountability for the
performance of the city’s school system. State control allowed the city’s
leaders to point elsewhere every time the School District faced yet another
crisis. And it gave the rest of us a convenient and distant enemy to blame for
our schools, and the problems that result from underfunding them. Not that the
state didn’t deserve enmity: The takeover in 2001 gave a temporary
reprieve to a fiscal crisis, but the state went on to make decisions that
undermined education, in direct budget cuts and questionable policies. And
though no one could accuse SRC members of not being dedicated, they had no
power to get more money. In the end, the SCR’s existence made it easy for
everyone else to hide in the shadows. So now Kenney has stepped into the light and said he is
responsible. (Remarkably, he actually used those words: “I am
responsible.”) That includes financial responsibility, with a commitment to
cover a current $103 million deficit – $1 billion over five years. Here’s
what gives us confidence that this is the right move:
Philly
takes back control of its schools: Why now?
Inquirer by Kristen A. Graham & Maddie
Hanna - Staff Writers Updated: NOVEMBER 4, 2017
Six weeks ago, State Rep. John Taylor got a call
from Mayor Kenney: What did the Philadelphia Republican think, the mayor asked,
about ending state control of the city schools sooner rather than later? For
the School Reform Commission to be dissolved this year and a new, locally
appointed board to be in place for the 2018-19 school term, the SRC would have
to self-destruct by the end of this year. Kenney was floating the idea of local
control with a guy who’s always been a bridge — a Philadelphian, but a Republican.
It was one of a number of calls the mayor had made to various officials
floating the idea of local control. “‘If it’s going to be any time soon, it has
to be right now,'” Taylor recalled Kenney saying. Taylor said he agreed. On
Thursday, Kenney delivered the news to a cheering audience gathered in City
Council chambers that he was asking the SRC to dissolve itself and preparing to
cover much of the billion-dollar deficit that will soon loom for the
Philadelphia School District. A nine-member school board will take the SRC’s
place in July.
Supreme
Court rejects bid to halt redistricting lawsuit
WHYY By Associated Press November 4, 2017The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to put on ice a federal lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania’s congressional districts approved after the 2010 census. Justice Samuel Alito on Friday rejected the requested stay of the lawsuit by five Pennsylvania voters against the governor and elections officials, a court official said Saturday. Republican leaders in Pennsylvania’s General Assembly had said in the request filed last week that a trial in the case could occur in about a month, as the justices are considering a Wisconsin gerrymandering case with what they call “substantively identical claims.” House Speaker Mike Turzai and Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, who were granted a request to intervene in the federal case, asked the court to impose a halt until a similar Commonwealth Court lawsuit over the districts is resolved — and that case is mostly on hold pending a decision in the Wisconsin lawsuit. Lawyers for Turzai and Scarnati argued the Wisconsin decision could render the Pennsylvania lawsuit moot, or narrow its issues.
A year
after Trump’s election, York, Pa., is forever changed
Boston Globe By Matt
Viser, Globe Staff November 04, 2017One in a series of occasional articles examining how President Trump’s ascendance and early moves have altered expectations and reality. This story is the first of three gauging those effects in one Pennsylvania county.
YORK, Pa.—Are you OK? Where are you? Barbara Estep
kept texting her daughter, Nylaya Way, who was not responding. Donald
Trump had stunned the nation by winning the presidency the night before,
and now frightening things were happening at Nylaya’s vocational high school,
York County School of Technology. Racial tensions had been building in the
school’s corridors, afeteria, and
parking lot throughout the historically divisive campaign. Then, hours after
Trump claimed victory in the election, they boiled over as a group of white
students held aloft Trump campaign signs and chanted in a hallway, “White
power!’’ A brief video clip of the incident shot across the social media feeds
of York Tech students and their parents. “I just thought it was going to be
this big race riot,” Barbara Estep said. “The country-fed boys, they’re
hunters. I’m sorry, that’s what I thought. These city kids, they have guns. I
thought it was going to be a big shootout.”
Finally, a text came from Nylaya: I’m OK. Stop
worrying. But even as the threat of violence seemed to ease, Estep decided to
keep her daughter out of school the next day. Many other parents made the same
call. “When I called the school and I said, ‘I’m not going to send her,’ ”
Estep recalls, “the person in the attendance office said, ‘I don’t blame
you.’ ” Trump’s election a year ago profoundly altered the United States in
ways that continue to reverberate, but perhaps most visibly and disturbingly in
how we talk to one another, especially about the hardest things, like the
nation’s racial divide. The volume is up; the edge is sharp. Old grievances
feel new, and civility is being sorely tested.
“Mike Petrilli, the president of the
conservative Thomas B. Fordham Institute, said the change will benefit wealthy
families who already have money to pay for private school and who have enough
money to set aside to make the savings account work. "It sure doesn't do
much to fulfill the president's campaign promises around school choice,"
Petrilli said. "It's telling that they couldn't find the money to support
a program for low-income students, but they did find a way to give a major new
benefit to affluent parents who send their children to private schools."
He added: "The benefits can now
flow to the wealthy. It seems like a subsidy for people that don't need
it."
Republican
tax bill furthers DeVos' push for school choice
Inquirer by MARIA DANILOVA, The
Associated Press Updated: NOVEMBER 3, 2017 — 4:39 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) - Education Secretary Betsy DeVos'
school-choice agenda is getting a bit of a boost from the Republican tax bill,
which would allow parents to use education savings accounts to pay tuition at
private elementary and secondary schools. Yet some conservative groups favoring
school choice say the tax bill doesn't help low-income families. Expanding
school choice - access to charter, private and other options besides
neighborhood schools - has been a top priority of the Trump administration and
DeVos, who has spent decades working on that front in her home state of
Michigan. But nine months into her tenure, DeVos has yet to come forward with a
major school choice initiative, which her supporters have been hoping for and
her critics have feared. The tax proposal, unveiled Thursday, stops
significantly short of the $20 billion school-choice project that
President Donald Trump promised on the campaign trail.
The GOP
Has a New Vehicle for School Choice, But Are the Wealthy at the Wheel?
Education Week Politics K12 Blog By Andrew Ujifusa on November
6, 2017 7:17 AM
The House GOP's plan to overhaul the tax code includes a
provision that would allow 529 college savings plans to be used for K-12
expenses, including private school tuition. It's a victory for advocates of school choice that
we previewed last August—but who uses those accounts now, and how much
could they help expand choice? Just a quick overview: 529 plans are
state-backed savings plans that can cover college tuition and other costs
related to higher education. Unlike some other tax-advantaged plans, various
family members can open accounts on behalf of a child. Contributions to 529
plans are tax deductible. There isn't a single hard cap on how much people can
contribute to 529s, although they're supposed to only pay for qualified
education expenses. More basic information here via Business
Insider. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos also praised
the provision of the bill as "a strong and proven tool to help make
education more affordable for middle-class families." (Remember that the
school choice expansion plans she pushed for in the proposed Trump budget have
fallen flat in Congress.) But ironically enough, the American Federation for
Children, the school choice advocacy group that DeVos used to lead, said while
it supported the move, it wouldn't truly help "low-income families who
aren't able to put away those savings." EdChoice, formerly known as the
Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, expressed pros and cons for the
idea similar to DeVos' old organization.
Editorial:
The Best Charter Schools Deserve More Leeway on Hiring
New York Times By THE EDITORIAL BOARD NOV. 3, 2017
New York City is one of the rare places in the
country where charter schools generally have made good on the promise to outperform
conventional public schools in exchange for flexibility from the state
that lets them lengthen the school day, alter the curriculum, do away with
tenure and change how teachers are compensated. The State University of New
York, which oversees most of the state’s charters, removed yet another
regulatory obstacle last month when it gave
high-performing charter schools the right to design
their own teacher-training programs and certify their own teachers. The new
certification rules represent a reasonable attempt to let these schools avoid
the weak state teacher education system that has long been criticized for
churning out graduates who are unprepared to manage the classroom. The national
scope of this problem was documented a decade ago in a devastating report
by Arthur
Levine, a former president of Teachers College, Columbia
University, who criticized universities for using teacher-training programs
with low or no standards as cash cows. He called on colleges to strengthen the
more promising programs and to shut down the worst.
The New York Times took a swipe at the
teaching profession today by endorsing one of the Empire State's dumbest ideas.
Curmuducation Blog by Peter Greene Saturday,
November 4, 2017Last month SUNY gave its pet charter schools the freedom to hire whatever warm bodies they could get their hands on, based on the theory that-- well, I'm not sure. That hiring real teachers is hard, and expensive? That getting trained educational professionals to take bad direction from well-connected amateurs (lookin' at you, Eva Moskowitz)? That the leaders of charters are just so awesome that their awesomeness will elevate the warm bodies they hire? That teaching isn't a real job and any schlubb off the street can do it? Pick your favorite theory. In any case, the NYT thinks the warm body idea is awesome sauce. The NYT fact-checking machinery is legendary. When my old friend got married years ago in NYC and his announcement was going to take up four whole lines of NYT space, the Grey Lady called my friend's mom back in our small town to confirm that she did in fact run the business that the announcement said she ran. So I believe that America's newspaper of record knows how to check it some facts. And yet this editorial was written when the fact checkers were out to lunch.
