school law needs to shed its dunce cap reputation | Opinion

“Unfortunately, too many charter schools
are among the state’s poorest performing schools. Only 28 of the 161
brick-and-mortar charters earned a “good” grade on the Department of
Education’s quality report card – the School Performance Profile. None of the
14 cyber charters has ever gotten a passing grade.”

Few parents are satisfied when their child gets a
bad grade on their report card. But for years, Pennsylvania’s charter
schools have not gotten high marks from organizations that push for
high-quality options for students. Yet, like a neglectful parent, the state
legislature’s inaction is making the problem worse. For the sake of our
kids, that’s got to change. Pennsylvania placed in the bottom half of all
states in national rankings prepared by three respected pro-charter
organizations, the Center for Education Reform, the National Alliance for
Public Charter Schools, and the National Association of Charter Schools.
To be highly ranked, a state must reward high-performing charter schools, cut
red tape, and close poorly performing operators. Neither Pennsylvania’s
20-year-old charter law nor the revisions to the law proposed in House Bill 97
does those things. The bill, currently being considered by the Pennsylvania
House, needs considerable work to get the job done. There’s no debating that a
small group of high-quality charters in the Commonwealth effectively educate
students who struggle in their home districts. But the sector’s two-decade
track record is far from impressive. Only about 42 percent of third- to
eighth-grade charter students passed the reading portion of the PSSA, the
state’s standardized test. For math, the scores were worse, with only 21
percent of the students performing on grade level. Considering only cyber
charter students, the results were even more grim: 61 percent of reading and 85
percent of math test-takers failed to reach proficiency.

SB2 ESA
Vouchers: Trading accountability for flexibility
Centre Daily Times Opinion January 26, 2018 07:01 PM
The above op-ed was submitted on behalf of the AAUW
State College Branch, Education Policy Committee.
Our state legislators will soon be considering
expanding postsecondary and college educational savings accounts (ESAs) to K-12
students under the mantra of “school choice.” Advocates for ESAs are pushing
for their expansion as a means to provide parents with the ultimate flexibility
for their child’s education. However, flexibility has a tradeoff — ESAs divert
public school funds to private schools that often have problems of their own
and no accountability for them. Schools receiving ESA funds have no oversight
and are not required to participate in state assessment programs, nor do they
comply with requirements for curriculum or professional licensure. In fact,
K-12 students enrolled in private schools would forfeit their constitutional
right to a free appropriate public education. Special needs children may not
receive the services they need since once a voucher is accepted they forfeit
their rights under federal law (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). According
to the National Education Association, private schools can reject applicants
based on their academic record, English language proficiency, disability
status, homelessness, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation of both
students and parents, and other criteria.

Scarnati refuses Pa. Supreme Court order to turn over map data in gerrymander
case
Post-Gazette by JONATHAN LAI Philadelphia
Inquirer JAN 31, 2018 5:28 PM
State Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati said
Wednesday he would not turn over any data requested by the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court in the wake of the gerrymandering ruling that Republicans are fighting in
the U.S. Supreme Court. Last week, the state high court ruled that Pennsylvania's
congressional map was the product of unconstitutional gerrymandering and
ordered the General Assembly to submit files “that contain the current
boundaries of all Pennsylvania municipalities and precincts” by noon Wednesday.
In a letter to the court, Scarnati’s lawyers said he would not do so, repeating
an argument they have made to the U.S. Supreme Court: The state court is
overstepping its authority. “In light of the unconstitutionality of the Court's
Orders and the Court's plain intent to usurp the General Assembly's
constitutionally delegated role of drafting Pennsylvania's congressional
districting plan, Sen. Scarnati will not be turning over any data identified in
the Court's Orders,” the lawyers wrote. Republican lawmakers, including Mr. Scarnati,
R-Jefferson, have said the court order does not give them enough time to draw a
new map, especially because the justices did not provide a full opinion when
they released the order overturning the map. By imposing a tight timeline with
little guidance, the Republicans argue, the court sets them up to fail,
clearing the way for the justices to draw their own map.
Legal
fight over Pennsylvania's gerrymandered congressional map intensifies
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court decided the
state's congressional map illegally favors Republicans and must be redrawn.
Here's the background on the case.
Morning Call by Steve Esack Contact Reporter January 31, 2018
Political and legal fights intensified Wednesday
over Pennsylvania's gerrymandered congressional map after Senate Republicans vowed to
ignore a court order issued by the Democrat-majority state Supreme Court. In
a letter to the
justices, a lawyer for Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson, said
he will not comply with a court directive to turn over voter records and
mapmaking material. The letter states the court’s Jan. 22 ruling striking down
the state’s 2011 congressional map was a judicial overstep. The ruling, the
letter said, did not include judicial guidance on how lawmakers can rectify the
map and the court has yet to provide it, indicating the justices plan to make
their own map. If that’s the case, the lawyer warned, the justices won’t get
help from Scarnati, who will not relinquish “statewide municipal and precinct
map data.”

HARRISBURG -- Republican gubernatorial candidates
Paul Mango and Scott Wagner are donating heavily to their campaigns, putting up
millions of their own dollars for the right to challenge Pennsylvania's
Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf in the November election, according to campaign
finance reports disclosed Wednesday. Wednesday was the deadline for the
gubernatorial campaigns to report to state elections officials how they raised
and spent money last year. The campaigns are heading into 2018 with more than
$23 million combined in the bank, as the heavy spending season approaches.
Mango and Wagner are airing TV ads, likely every day until the May 15 primary
election. Meanwhile, Wolf can nurse his campaign account -- at just over $11
million as of Dec. 31 -- without a serious primary challenger. Also in the
running for the Republican gubernatorial nomination are state House Speaker
Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, and lawyer Laura Ellsworth.

Good Wednesday Morning, Fellow Seekers.The 2018 campaign season has a seen an unusual spate of legislative retirement announcements. And while they're not close to setting any records, these races do have the potential to reshape the upper levels of legislative leadership. In the state House, for instance, Majority Leader David Reed, R-Indiana, opened a leadership vacuum with his announcement that he'll run for the 9th Congressional District seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster. Reed won't run for re-election to his House seat. And as our friends at City & State Pa. report this morning, the 50-member state Senate, where Republicans currently enjoy a 34-16 veto-proof majority, is going through convulsions of its own. Five seats there, notably some in the moderate Philadelphia suburbs, are currently in play. And in a year in which Democrats are hoping to make some inroads, they're definitely worth watching. Herewith: A quick rundown of those races.

running out to nominate Philly's new school board

Updated: JANUARY 30, 2018 — 3:01 AM ESTWendell Pritchett is chair of the educational nominating panel and provost of the University of Pennsylvania.
As a Philadelphia resident, a former member of the
School Reform Commission, and a parent of children who attended Philadelphia
public schools, I am encouraged by the sustained, steady progress that the
School District of Philadelphia has made in recent years. Reading scores and graduation rates are on the
rise. There are no longer any “persistently
dangerous” schools. And the district now has contracts with each of its unions. There is still
work to be done to ensure that every child can attend a quality school in
Philadelphia, but I am confident that the School District is headed in the
right direction. To ensure that we stay the course, it is time for
Philadelphians to lead. Our city’s success depends on the success of our
schools; it is high time that Philadelphians take full responsibility for our
education system. Today, that means applying for the
new school board — or nominating someone else. If you are
(or know someone who is) a resident of Philadelphia, a registered voter, and
passionate about education, please take the time this week to submit your name
and explain why you or your nominee would be a good addition to the board.

The Helen Thackston Charter School board held a
last-minute special meeting Tuesday, Jan. 30, to approve what members said
were three years' worth of overdue audits. However, the board did not make
copies of the audits available, refused to allow members of
the public to inspect them, and board members wouldn't even describe what
was in the documents. What those public documents contain could determine
whether the embattled charter school closes at the end of the current
school year or after the 2018-19 year. The York City school board and
Thackston's board agreed last October to cancel charter revocation
hearings and instead simply dissolve the school after the 2018-19 school year. However,
the agreement included requirements for Thackston pertaining to
record-keeping, enrollment and the completion of several years of
independent audits, including the 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years. Those
audits had to be finalized and submitted to the York City School District by
Wednesday, Jan. 31, or the school would close following the 2017-18 school
year.

Penn to join a Payments In Lieu Of Taxes (PILOTs) agreement with Philadelphia
in order to improve the city's public schools. SLAP member and College

Check out how your local high school compares to
nearby schools in performance on the 2017 SAT. The exam, which is frequently
used for college admissions, is made up of three sections: reading, math and
essays. Both the reading and math sections are scored from 200-800. Essays are
scored separately and range from a score of 2 to 8. Total scores could range
from 400-1600. There is no passing grade for the SAT; however, many colleges
and universities use SAT scores as a factor in determining whether they will
admit a student. Some schools have stopped using exams like the SAT for
admissions. The 2017 high school graduate cohort was the largest in history,
with over 1.7 million students taking the test at some point in their college
careers, according to data provided by College Board,
which administers the SAT.
Is it a
Big Deal That Trump Barely Mentioned Education in State of the Union?
Education Week Politics K12 Blog By Alyson Klein on January
31, 2018 4:01 PM
Flashback to 2017: President Donald Trump spent a lot of time on education in his first joint
speech to Congess. He called education "the civil rights
issue of our time" and asked lawmakers to "pass an education bill
that funds school choice for disadvantaged youth, including millions of
African-American and Latino children. These families should be free to choose
the public, private, charter, magnet, religious, or home school that is right
for them." But the president's first official State of the Union
speech on Tuesday was almost devoid of any reference to school choice. (One possible,
fleeting exception: Trump pointed to a family from Ohio who may plan use
savings from the recent tax bill for education expenses. But it wasn't clear if
the president was talking about either tax-advantaged savings for K-12 private
school tuition—an opportunity made available by the recent tax bill—or such
savings for college tuition, which has been an option for years.) There wasn't
any reference to K-12 beyond a quick nod to vocational education. So is that a
lot less on education than we are used to hearing in a State of the Union
address or in a similar speech to Congress? Yes, this speech was lighter
on education than any since 1989, according to a review of speeches by
the Education Week Library. In fact, some past presidents used
their State of the Union speeches roll out or spike the football on some big
initiatives. For instance:
The one
thing Trump said about education policy in State of the Union address
Washington Post Answer Sheet Blog By Valerie Strauss January 31 at
1:08 PM Email the authorPresident Trump spoke for one hour, 20 minutes and 31 seconds (including applause) to deliver his first State of the Union address Tuesday night, and spoke directly about education policy very briefly — for one sentence, or two if you want to be charitable. And he didn’t mention school choice, which is surprising, given that he has said it is his chief educational priority. This is what Trump said in regard to education policy: As tax cuts create new jobs, let us invest in workforce development and job training. Let us open great vocational schools so our future workers can learn a craft and realize their full potential. There was nothing about school choice, graduation rates, student loans, standardized test scores, curriculum standards. And as Post reporter Moriah Balingit noted here, he didn’t include schools when he talked about rebuilding America’s infrastructure, saying: “We will build gleaming new roads, bridges, highways, railways and waterways across our land.”
What Trump
Didn't Say About Education
Experts aren’t surprised by the president’s
failure to mention it in his State of the Union.
The Atlantic by ISABEL FATTAL JAN 31, 2018
Sometimes what’s not said in a State of the Union
address is just as relevant as what’s said. That’s what some in the education
world are thinking, at least, about Trump’s lack of mention of their topic in
last night’s address. Despite being the third-longest State of the Union
in the past 50 years, Trump’s speech barely mentioned schools, students, or
learning. Trump’s only clear mention of the subject was a brief comment
about vocational education: “Let us open great vocational schools so our future
workers can learn a craft and realize their full potential.” As my colleague
Alia Wong reported last night,
this call for more vocational schools isn’t entirely consistent with his
requested cuts to career and technical education in the 2018 budget.
Representative Joe Kennedy’s Democratic response to the
address didn’t touch all that much on education, either, although it offered
more than Trump’s address did. Kennedy spoke from Diman Regional Technical
School, a vocational school in Fall River, Massachusetts, and noted that
Democrats choose “good education [Americans] can afford.” When it comes to
mentions of education, how does this year’s SOTU stack up historically?
Did new
evaluations and weaker tenure make fewer people want to become teachers? A new
study says yes
Chalkbeat BY MATT BARNUM -
January 30, 2018
When the Obama administration and states
across the country embraced tougher evaluation and tenure rules for teachers,
critics offered a familiar refrain: weakening teachers’ job security could make
the profession less attractive and ultimately backfire. Now a new study is among the
first to suggest that this concern has become a reality, showing that after
states put in place new evaluation and tenure rules, the number of new teaching
licenses issued dropped substantially — a finding that researchers said
suggests fewer people were interested in the job. “We find consistent evidence
that both implementing high-stakes evaluation reforms and repealing tenure
reduced teacher labor supply,” concludes the paper, which controlled for a
number of factors that might have affected the pool of teachers.The government of Turkey is seeking to discredit a network of U.S. charter schools linked to exiled cleric Fetullah Gulen.
Politico By LIZ ESSLEY WHYTE February 01, 2018
A law firm hired by the government of Turkey is
lobbying state officials across the U.S. about what it alleges is a suspicious
network of American charter schools run by a dangerous Turkish opposition
leader. Federal records show Turkey’s lawyers requested meetings in January
2018 with politicians in 26 states and the District of Columbia, including
attorneys general, influential legislators and at least one governor — Michigan’s
Rick Snyder. The legal team has already sat down with an official in the
Arizona attorney general’s office, worked on legislation in Texas and attended
school board meetings in California, Louisiana and Massachusetts. It’s the
latest move in a curious propaganda war playing out in America’s state capitals
between Turkey’s ruling party and a secretive religious movement that the Center for Public Integrity previously revealed has funded scores of
international trips for state lawmakers from places such as Texas
and Tennessee. Nonprofits
associated with what is commonly called the Gulen movement — named for the
elderly Turkish cleric Fetullah Gulen — sponsored subsidized trips to Turkey
for at least 151 state lawmakers, the Center for Public Integrity reported last year.
Some of the state lawmakers who took the trips later introduced resolutions
supporting the movement — or even backed some of the nearly 200 American
charter schools linked to it.
Republicans Tack a Conservative Campus Wish List to a Major Education
Bill
New York Times By ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS FEB. 1, 2018
Religious colleges would be able to bar openly
same-sex relationships without fear of repercussions. Religious student groups
could block people who do not share their faith from becoming members. Controversial
speakers would have more leverage when they want to appear at colleges. A 590-page higher-education
bill working its way through Congress is a wish list for a wide range of
people, groups and colleges claiming that their First Amendment rights —
freedom of speech, religion or assembly — are being trampled. Many of them are
religious, right-leaning or both, and the Republicans behind the bill have
eagerly taken up the cause, correcting what they see as antipathy toward
conservative beliefs on American campuses. “Colleges and universities, both
public and private, have long been considered environments that support robust
debate and freedom, and Republican members of Congress share that belief and
are sending a message to the higher education community that these important
issues cannot be ignored,” Michael Woeste, a spokesman for
Representative Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, the chairwoman of the
House education committee, said in a statement. The bill’s religious elements
reflect the continuing national debate over whether the First Amendment covers
actions that might otherwise be called discriminatory.
