SB2: State College School Board Opposes Pa. 'Voucher' Proposal; Congressional maps in State Supreme Court’s hands now


SB2: State College School Board Opposes Pa. 'Voucher' Proposal
StateCollege.com by Geoff Rushton on February 15, 2018 11:14 AM
State College Area School Board this week unanimously approved a resolution opposing a state Senate bill that would create educational savings accounts for families to use public basic education funds at private schools and for other expenses. "The shorthand way to explain this is that it takes taxpayer money and gives it to private schools," said board member David Hutchinson. Senate Bill 2 was introduced in 2017 and has not yet moved out of committee. Action on the bill is expected to resume soon. "Families approved to participate in the ESA program agree to withdraw their students from public school and receive the average state funding per pupil—deducted from the local district’s state education subsidies—as a grant in an account held by the Department of the Treasury," a memo from the bill's primary sponsors stated. "Special education students will receive this amount multiplied by the appropriate category weight as specified in the special education funding formula." The bill's sponsors and supporters say it's needed to help students who have no choice but to attend an underperforming public school because of where they live and their families' financial means. 

"This happens nowhere else other than the United States of America," Murphy said. "This epidemic of mass slaughter — this scourge of school shooting after school shooting. It only happens here not because of coincidence, not because of bad luck, but as a consequence of our inaction."
DeVos calls for congressional hearings on school shootings
Politico By AYANNA ALEXANDER 02/15/2018 10:44 AM EST Updated 02/15/2018 10:48 AM EST
Following a shooting at a Florida high school that left more than a dozen dead, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos said Thursday that Congress should hold hearings on school shootings, “Congress needs to be holding hearings on these issues. And we’ve seen lots of discussion about this every time we’ve had another incident,” DeVos said during an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. “We've seen, you know, lots of finger pointing back and forth. But we need to have a conversation at the level where lawmakers can actually impact the future, because going back to and putting myself in the seat of one of those families impacted, you know, one of these shootings is one too many. And we have got to have an honest conversation, and Congress has to lead on this. It’s their job.” However, a few members of Congress have already publicly voiced their opinions on gun control. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told MSNBC Thursday morning that Congress hasn't done a good job in deciphering who should be able to get guns. "We have not done a very good job of making sure that people that have mental reasons for not being able to handle a gun getting their name into the FBI files and we need to concentrate on that." On Wednesday, Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) called out Congress for what he called "inaction" on gun issues on the Senate floor as police were still investigating the crime.

NRA gave more than $210,000 to Pa. Congress members, records show
Trib Live by DEBRA ERDLEY  | Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018, 5:18 p.m.
The National Rifle Association, under heavy fire on social media following the Parkland, Fla., school massacre, has spent more than $210,000 to support members of Pennsylvania's congressional delegation over the past two decades, campaign finance records show. The money, doled out as campaign contributions directly to candidates, is just a small piece of the pie in the post-Citizens United world where super PACs representing corporations, nonprofit organizations and labor unions can spend millions more to underwrite independent, issue-oriented communications to support their favorites. Gun control advocates, who often are outspent by as much as 10-1 on the national stage, say it would be a mistake to underestimate the power of the NRA and other gun rights groups.

Another mass shooting. More congressional hand-wringing. Repeat.
Morning Call by Laura Olson and Nicole Radzievich Contact Reporters Call Washington Bureau February 15, 2018
Top of Form
In the wake of another mass shooting — again at a school and targeting students — a familiar question arises: What can lawmakers do to prevent gun tragedies? Since the taking of 20 young lives in 2012 at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School, members of Congress have expressed sadness, frustration and a renewed push to tighten gun laws. Each time, those legislative efforts have failed. Republicans control the House, Senate and White House, and many of them — because of politics and personal beliefs — don’t see firearms restrictions as a solution. Most Democrats do support controls, but lack the clout to break a legislative logjam that extends well beyond gun safety. The U.S. Senate has taken three major rounds of votes on gun-control legislation since Sandy Hook, with none — including one before Republicans won back control of the Senate in 2014 — producing a bill that could clear the chamber. The U.S. House has held fewer votes, most recently passing a bill sought by the gun lobby to broaden the right to carry a concealed firearm. It has not become law.

Ideas to redraw maps beat deadline in gerrymandering case
AP State Wire By MARC LEVY Published: Today
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - New proposals to redraw Pennsylvania's congressional districts rolled in Thursday in a high-stakes gerrymandering case, meeting a court-ordered deadline to submit maps of boundaries for the state Supreme Court to consider adopting for this year's election. Submitting maps were the group of registered Democratic voters who sued successfully to invalidate the current map, plus Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, Democratic lawmakers and a group of Republican activists who intervened in the case. Republican lawmakers submitted a plan last week. Pennsylvania's congressional map is widely viewed as among the nation's most gerrymandered. Upending it could boost Democrats nationally in their quest to capture control of the U.S. House and dramatically change the state's predominantly Republican, all-male delegation. Meanwhile, sitting congressmen, dozens of would-be candidates and millions of voters could find themselves in different districts. Among many differences in the suggested maps are how many times the heavily populated Montgomery County is split up, which counties are packaged with the city of Reading and whether incumbent congressmen are kept in their districts.

“The court, of course, had given Democrat Wolf and the Republican-controlled General Assembly about three weeks to approve a fast-tracked plan in its initial Jan. 22 order. Neither side was able to take advantage of that window, which sets up the next, and very controversial, step in the court's order: Its own imposition of new district lines by Feb. 19.”
Pa. redistricting is in the court's hands now, after Gov. Wolf rebuffs last pitch for delay
Penn Live by Charles Thompson cthompson@pennlive.com Updated Feb 15, 5:26 PM; Posted Feb 15, 5:02 PM
House and Senate Republicans made one last pitch to try to forestall a fast-approaching state court takeover of Pennsylvania's Congressional maps, but were rebuffed by Gov. Tom Wolf. Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre County, told reporters he and his House GOP counterpart Dave Reed, R-Indiana County, asked Wolf Thursday to make a joint appeal with them to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for more time. Under the GOP's offer, the 2018 election cycle would proceed under the existing maps that the state court last month found in violation of state constitutional guarantees of "free and equal" elections. The leaders and Wolf would then commit to a redraw -- after a full, legislative process that would by definition require both major parties' buy-in -- that would take effect for the 2020 campaign cycle. Corman said Wolf rejected the offer, though that could not be immediately corroborated by Wolf's office.

Pa. Democrats, others send congressional redistrict plans to Supreme Court
Inquirer by Jonathan Lai, Staff Writer  @Elaijuh |  jlai@phillynews.com Updated: FEBRUARY 15, 2018 — 10:39 PM EST
A slew of proposals were submitted to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Thursday as the clock ran out for the state legislature to draw a new map of congressional districts and have it approved by Gov. Wolf. Now it’s up to the high court to adopt its own reconfigured map by Monday — or sooner — and write the next, but probably not last, chapter in the historic gerrymandering case. Republican lawmakers, who had proposed a map that Wolf vetoed Tuesday, have vowed to fight any new map the court chooses. The House Democratic caucus was the first to file a proposal Thursday for how the 18 district boundaries should be redrawn to more fairly represent the state’s voters. Senate Democrats followed later in the day, as did Democratic Lt. Gov. Mike Stack and a group of Republican voters and local officials. The voters who brought the legal challenge to what had been the district map submitted two map proposals Thursday night. The governor was expected to file his version of the district map before midnight.

Eight Pennsylvanias: Pa. Supreme Court gets a lot of ideas for new Congressional district lines
Penn Live by Charles Thompson | cthompson@pennlive.com Posted February 16, 2018 at 05:56 AM | Updated February 16, 2018 at 05:56 AM
Over the next four days, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has promised to fix a problem with partisan gerrymandering of the state's 18 Congressional districts that, in a Feb. 7 opinion, it found has reached constitution-busting proportions. This map, a 5-2 majority found, violated the state constitution's guarantee of "free and equal" elections by improperly diluting Democratic votes over the last three elections cycles. Republicans have consistently won 13 of the state's 18 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, irregardless - the plaintiffs say - of all the political trends around them. That decision itself - reached by the five justices who were elected to the court as Democrats - has been accused of being partisan. But this is the system we're in here in The Keystone State. 

York City district prepares to take about 500 Thackston students a year early
York Dispatch education reporter Junior Gonzalez brings us up to speed on the closure of York City's Helen Thackston Charter School.
York Dispatch by Junior Gonzalez, 717-505-5439/@EducationYD Published 3:25 p.m. ET Feb. 15, 2018 | Updated 3:41 p.m. ET Feb. 15, 2018
A deal allowing Helen Thackston Charter School to stay open through the end of the 2018-19 school year fell apart this week, with the York City School District ordering the school to shut its doors for good in a little more than four months. That means the district will have to accommodate about 500 new students next fall — a year earlier than administrators expected. Preparations already are underway, according to district officials. “The cabinet and the district are in the process of planning for an influx of students in the fall from Thackston,” district spokeswoman Kate Harmon said in a statement. “There is a plan in place, and it does (involve) additional staffing needs to accommodate those new students.” While some parents may elect to enroll their children in other schools, such as the York Academy Regional Charter School or the York County School of Technology, it's likely many Thackston students — most of whom live within the York City School District — will return to their home district.

“And before you conclude that this is somehow a push for charter schools over traditional district schools, let me be as clear as possible: charter or district, union or non-union, it doesn’t matter.  There are great district and charter schools in our city, and there are awful district and charter schools, too. We need to support great schools and help them thrive; and we need to fix or close schools that don’t provide our children with a high-quality education.”
Time to declare a state of emergency in Philly schools
WHYY Opinion By David Hardy February 15, 2018
David Hardy is a senior adviser for the nonprofit Excellent Schools PA. He is the founder and former CEO of Boys Latin Charter School in West Philadelphia. Contact him directly at dhardy@excellentschoolspa.org.
It is time to stop sentencing thousands of Philadelphia’s children to a lifetime of poverty and despair, thanks to public schools that offer them virtually no chance at a successful life.
It is time to stop defending a racist status quo that enables academic segregation: Philadelphia’s wealthy, mostly white children continue to get the best education money can buy, while poor children, many of whom are African-American or Hispanic, are consigned to failing schools that are little more than way stations on the road to a lifetime of joblessness, low income, and misery. It is time to declare that “a state of emergency” exists in our schools for children living in poverty. As a citizenry, we must demand excellent schools in Philadelphia and throughout Pennsylvania. All children, not just some of them, deserve a high-quality education.

Pittsburgh Public Schools teachers edge closer to going on strike
Trib Live by NATASHA LINDSTROM  | Friday, Feb. 16, 2018, 12:12 a.m.
The Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers moved a step closer Thursday night to going on strike as soon as next week. Nina Esposito-Visgitis, president of the teachers union, emphasized that she and other union leaders would prefer to reach an agreement with Pittsburgh Public Schools district officials during an all-day negotiation session Friday. “I want the community to know that our educators want to be in school with your kids, but we will fight for what we know is in the best interests of students and schools,” Esposito-Visgitis said in a statement following a meeting of the union's executive board. “The negotiations team is prepared, as we have been for the last year and a half, to stay for as long as it takes on Friday to get this contract settled,” she added.
The board unanimously agreed to give Esposito-Visgitis the authority to call a strike if necessary — a move in line with a vote by union members this week.

“Estep said he likes what he sees from Wolf’s efforts but, he stressed, more work needs to be done on behalf of public education. “As superintendent, I’m appreciative that the governor has tried to put money back into public education,” he said. “However, it’s still not cutting it at this point. We continue to have mandated expenses to deal with the money coming in.”
Estep prepares budget
Proposed state budget would have minimal local impact on schools
The Sentinel by JOE CANNON sentinel@lewistownsentinel.com FEB 16, 2018
LEWISTOWN – As he begins preparations for crafting a budget for 2018-19, Mifflin County School District Superintendent James Estep said Thursday that the proposed budget offered by Governor Tom Wolf last week, if passed as is, won’t create much of an impact on the local school numbers. During a committee-of-the-whole meeting on Thursday, Estep said the budget proposal Wolf presented on Feb. 6 includes a $100 million increase in basic education spending and $20 million more for special education. “In a perfect world and the legislature passes the governor’s proposal, that would give the Mifflin County School District about $360,000 in new dollars,” Estep said. Not much help in terms of next year’s expenses, he added. “For example, we have negotiated with Highmark not to raise health insurance rates any more than five percent,” he pointed out. To budget five percent out of the current $8 million we spend on health care, we’re talking $400,000 and that wipes that (state increase) out. And that’s if the budget passes as is.”
Estep said the district continues to look at ways to save money. He noted that when he became superintendent, the district’s health insurance payments stood at $9.6 million. “We’re now at $8 million for healthcare so you can see we’ve made a lot of changes in order to save the district money.”

Kenney opposes Council resolution to set high bar for removing Board of Ed members
The notebook by Dale Mezzacappa and Greg Windle February 15, 2018 — 7:52am
A City Council resolution opposed by Mayor Kenney was introduced Thursday that would establish a high bar for removing members of the new Board of Education, which will assume governance of the School District on July 1 from the state-dominated School Reform Commission. Introduced by Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, with the backing of Council President Darrell Clarke, the resolution says that board members could be removed only “for cause.” That would replace the standard of “at the pleasure of the mayor” that was in effect before the SRC was installed in 2001, taking control of the District from the Board of Education. The new bill signals a power struggle between Kenney and Council over the new school board. Kenney said he needs this authority so he can maintain accountability for the School District. Clarke says that the “for cause” provision will allow the board to maintain independence from the mayor and prevent board members “from being removed for purely political reasons.”

Are Kenney, Council in a power struggle over Philly's new school board?
Inquirer by Kristen A. Graham & Holly Otterbein - Staff Writers Updated: FEBRUARY 15, 2018 — 4:45 PM EST
Once in lockstep over the process of returning control of Philadelphia’s schools from the state-dominated School Reform Commission to a local school board, it appears Mayor Kenney and City Council President Darrell L. Clarke are at odds, setting up a potential power struggle with significant fallout. The Council, with the mayor’s blessing, had always planned to pass legislation allowing voters to consider a City Charter change that would give Council approval power over the board members. A charter change is likely to be on the ballot this spring. But with Clarke’s backing, a bill to change the charter was introduced Thursday that would make it more difficult for Kenney to remove school board members — a move seen by some as the Council president’s attempt to wrest authority from the mayor.

SRC approves nearly $100 million in contracts for online services and substitute teachers
The commissioners also moved along Policy 406, vociferously opposed by charters
The notebook by Darryl C. Murphy February 15, 2018 — 11:08pm
While advocates call for more teachers and resources, the School Reform Commission Thursday approved two contracts for a total of $20 million to update its information management system and bring some online courses and instructional programs to schools. Community members fear it will interfere with face-to-face instruction and data security. But District administrators said that the programs are not intended to replace human instruction.  “These resources are not used to supplant the teacher,” said Chris Schaffer, deputy chief for curriculum, instruction, and assessment. “They are a supplementary resource for teachers to use.” Students can look forward to $10,000,000 worth of  “online courses and adaptive instructional programs” in writing, literacy, and math for grades K-12 thanks to an approved contract with 14 vendors including Raz Plus, HeadSprout, Lexia Learning, and more. The contracts will run from March 3, 2018 to June 30, 2020.

Philadelphia’s Proposed New Charter School Reports: February 22, 2018
Alliance for Philadelphia Public Schools by Lisa Haver February 14, 2018
On February 22, the  lame-duck School Reform Commission (SRC) will vote to accept or reject applications from seven charter companies: APM Community Charter School, Franklin Towne Charter Middle School, Mastery Charter Elementary, MaST Community Charter School,  Philadelphia Hebrew Charter School, Antonia Pantoja Preparatory Charter School and Eugenio Maria de Hostos Preparatory Charter School.  (Pennsylvania Institute Charter School withdrew its application at the hearing; Qor Charter withdrew its application subsequent to the hearing.) APPS members have read and analyzed the applications, attended the hearings, researched the charter company and its officers, and examined the records of any existing schools the company operates in the district. Those who scratch the surface of this process begin to realize the depth and breadth of the questions surrounding the funneling of tax dollars into institutions that are not “public” in the sense of serving the common good.  Dig further to discover highly paid top administration officials, cozy and complicated financial dealings, far from transparent or open organizational practices, and academics that are rarely superior to public schools.

How Philly schools are cutting out bad behavior and improving academics
Inquirer by Kristen A. Graham, Staff Writer  @newskag |  kgraham@phillynews.com Updated: FEBRUARY 16, 2018 — 5:55 AM EST
For a time, Hartranft Elementary School wrestled with student behavior problems — children disrupting class, fighting, and walking the hallways of the North Philadelphia school. There seemed to be no consistent rules, and academics suffered. These days, Hartranft is soaring. Student achievement is steadily progressing, but most of all, the school is a citywide model for climate and culture. Credit a reboot of student discipline and a system of school operation that teaches kids how to behave in every scenario and rewards positive behavior. Rather than only negatively reacting to misdeeds, every adult in the building creates clear expectations and goes out of his or her way to honor good conduct as a way of preventing trouble.

Trump budget would cut millions in school safety funds: report
The Hill BY BRANDON CARTER - 02/15/18 04:18 PM EST 293
President Trump’s proposed 2019 budget would cut millions of dollars from federal education programs designed to help school districts improve safety and provide mental health assistance in the event of a tragedy. The budget proposal, which was unveiled earlier this week by the White House, would reduce funding for national school safety activities by $25 million compared to 2017, Politico reported. That reduction would include the elimination of “project prevention grants,” which have helped schools across the country fund conflict resolution programs, prevent bullying and pay for mental health assistance for students. Politico reports the budget would also cut the $1 million in funding for the School Emergency Response to Violence (SERV) program, which has previously provided millions in funding to the school district in Newtown, Conn., following the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Before the Court en banc sitting in Court Room No. 1 Ninth Floor, Widener Building, 1339 Chestnut Street, One South Penn Square, Philadelphia, PA 19107
All members of Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court will hear oral argument on motions to dismiss filed by legislative leaders in the school funding lawsuit William Penn School District, et al. v. Pennsylvania Dept. of Education, et al.  The Legislators are arguing that the Petition challenging the inadequacy and inequity of Pennsylvania’s funding of schools is moot because the new school formula has supplanted the funding scheme existing when students and school districts filed their Petition in 2015.  In addition, Legislators also contend that the Petition failed to allege that insufficient state funding caused any harm such as poor PSSA results or lack of sufficient instructional resources.   In September, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the Commonwealth Court to hold a trial on whether state officials are violating the state’s constitution by failing to adequately and equitably fund public education.  The Legislators objections have delayed efforts to bring this case to trial.
