School Shootings This Year: How Many and Where
Education Week's
2019 School Shooting Tracker February 1, 2018 | Updated: November 14,
2019
School
shootings—terrifying to students, educators, parents, and communities—always
reignite polarizing debates about gun rights and school safety. To bring
context to these debates, Education Week journalists began
tracking shootings on K-12 school property that resulted in firearm-related
injuries or deaths. In 2018, when we began this project, there were 24 such
incidents. (Visit our 2018 page to see
where these shootings happened and key information about them.) Now, in 2019, we are continuing this important—and heartbreaking—work. More information about this tracker
and our methodology is
below.
“Students presently in private and religious
schools who have never attended Harrisburg public schools would also be
eligible for vouchers under the program, draining even more sorely needed
funding from the district. There are no fiscal or student performance
accountability provisions in the bill. Turzai’s bill is on the agenda for
consideration by the House Education Committee on Monday, Nov.18, with
subsequent consideration by the full Pennsylvania House as soon as that
Thursday, Nov. 21. This bill would be a “camel’s nose under the tent”. Though funded
by taxpayer dollars, it paves the way for future expansion of the program
across the state – far from scrutiny and accountability by taxpayers.
Public money is public money and
it belongs in our public schools.”

Lawrence A. Feinberg was recently re-elected
to a sixth, four-year term as a school director in Haverford Township, Delaware
County. He also serves as Co-Chair of the Delaware County School Boards
Legislative Council.
The 2022 race for
governor’s race has begun, and Pennsylvania House Speaker Mike Turzai wants to
make it clear that he shares Betsy DeVos’ vision for privatization of public
education. In a recent Philadelphia
Inquirer opinion piece, Turzai,
R-Allegheny, touted our state “as a gold standard with respect to funding
public school districts”, completely ignoring the fact that Pennsylvania is
home to the widest per pupil
funding gap between wealth and poor districts in the country. Under his leadership, the Pennsylvania Legislature has been negligent,
willfully and deliberately ignoring the state’s historic gross inequity in the
distribution of school funding and locking students in poorer districts into
their underfunded and under resourced predicament. A school funding
lawsuit is pending, with the
trial tentatively set to begin in summer 2020.
Legislative
Alert: House Education Committee to push voucher bill next Monday
On Monday, November
18,The House Education Committee is scheduled to vote on voucher legislation
under House
Bill 1800 (Rep.
Turzai, R-Allegheny). House Bill 1800 establishes a voucher program for
students in the Harrisburg School District, which entered state receivership in
June. The legislation sets a precedent for expansion in other districts – and
in fact, using the definitions in the bill there are 13 school districts that
would qualify for the voucher program if they enter receivership. Enactment of
House Bill 1800 sets the stage for the eventual rollout of an expensive
statewide voucher program. Adding tuition and transportation outlays, House
Bill 1800 is estimated to cost the Harrisburg School District $5.5 million to
$8.5 million. Could your district be next? Once this bill is reported out
of the House Education Committee, it is expected to quickly be pushed on the
House floor.
There are no fiscal
or student performance accountability requirements in the bill.
Please contact your representatives
ASAP and ask them to please remain focused on ensuring that every student in
every community has equal access to an excellent system of public education,
and to please oppose HB 1800 or any other bill that would create a
taxpayer-funded voucher program. Tell them to reject vouchers and vote NO on HB1800.

Vulture Voucher Bill Latest in Mike Turzai’s Quest to
Please Betsy DeVos in PA
Gadfly on the Wall
Blog by Steven M. Singer November 15, 2019
The best way to
help a struggling public school is to cannibalize it.
At least
that’s what Betsy DeVos
thinks – and
so does her Pennsylvania puppet Mike Turzai. The Republican Speaker of the state House is expected to propose a school
voucher bill Monday
that will treat Harrisburg Schools as nothing more than carrion fit for plunder
by school privatization vultures. Sure the district is in
state receivership after decades of neglect and bad decisions by the elected
school board. But instead
of helping the school and its students get back on their feet, Turzai proposes
siphoning away as much as $8.5 million in state funding set aside for the school’s aide. Alternatively, that money would go to
help offset some of the cost of sending Harrisburg students to private or
parochial schools if they so desire.
Inaction on school funding in Pennsylvania could lead
more schools into distress, academic report warns
By Kim Jarrett
| The Center Square Nov 13, 2019
It’s a message
Timothy Shrom has been preaching since his co-authored report with William
Hartman was published 11 month ago – about 60 percent of Pennsylvania’s
school districts are expected to face financial hardship in the next few years
unless something changes. “I am kind of upbeat,” Shrom, the director of
research for the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials, told
the Pennsylvania Economy League recently. “But this can kind of get to the
point where you shake your head.” “A Tale of Haves and Have-Nots: The Financial
Future of Pennsylvania School Districts” is more than just a forecast of doom
and gloom. The 28-page
report published
by the Temple University Center on Regional Politics outlines the reasons why
some districts have more funding than others. Over the last few years, on
average 20 percent of the districts in the state did not see their assessed
property values grow. Another reason is the state's funding formula for charter
schools, Shrom told the Pennsylvania Economy League recently. School districts
are required to fund charter school tuition costs. But for some districts, that
expenditure exceeds what they receive from the state in basic and special
education needs. Shrom pointed out that giving parents a choice through charter
schools is not the problem. “The biggest problem we have with our choice policy
is that we did a one-size fits all across the state, and a lot of school
districts didn’t really need that kind of choice,” Shrom said. “But we never
really let the public vote on that either. We just kind of did it." Shrom's
statements on charter schools echoed those this past summer of state Sen. Pat
Browne, a Republican and chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations
Committee. Browne had described charter school funding as having reached a
"crisis point."

integrated into the city’s public schools.
Charter school knew about toxic lead in drinking water
but kept parents in the dark
Mastery
officials said this week that all drinking fountains at the school have been
decommissioned.
The notebook WHYY NEWS by Avi Wolfman-Arent and Ryan Briggs November 14
It was a display of
kindness that should have been heartwarming. Instead, Frederick Douglass
Elementary School teacher Alison Marcus just felt queasy. In 2016 — while
headlines blared about the water crisis in
Flint, Michigan —
Marcus’ North Philadelphia charter school raised money to buy bottled water for
residents of the distressed Midwestern city. But as she watched students at the
charter, run by Mastery, toss change into a large plastic bucket, she felt a
pang of guilt. “I just remember thinking, ‘We should definitely be testing the
water here,’” she said in an interview this month. That’s because Marcus says
she and other teachers feared the drinking water at the school wasn’t much
better than Flint’s. That same year, for roughly a week, some hallway fountains
and sinks spurted a brown liquid that looked more like apple cider than water,
according to nine former and current staffers. Administrators say they were
unaware of the issues. However, Marcus says she and others complained about the
brown water in 2016 to school leaders. No one ever formally notified parents.
Erie Rise Charter Gets Approved For 5 Years
The Erie
School Board agreed to renew the charter for Erie Rise Leadership Academy, but
there are additional guidelines that the school must follow.
Erie News Now Thursday,
November 14th 2019, 12:15 AM EST by Brianna Andrews
Tonight the Erie
School Board decided to renew Erie Rise Leadership Academy’s charter for the
next five years. The meeting took place at East Middle School, Wednesday
evening where the board announced their decision. Although the school board
voted to renew the charter there are still some challenges for Erie Rise. The
school board is requiring a cap on the number of students per class, limiting
it to 25 students per classroom. Additional requirements include a high
attendance rate, and stronger academics overall. This is all included in the
school board’s improvement plan. If Erie Rise fails to meet these requirements
within five years the charter may end sooner than five years. Erie Rise
Leadership Academy has a history of low test scores and poor attendance but
teachers are confident they can make a difference. “We have like an amazing
staff teachers and teacher’s aide in every classroom that are dedicated more
than anybody I've ever seen. I have so many kids that have behavioral problems
rough home lives and stuff and I am there to make a difference in their lives
as much as I personally can,” said Teacher’s Aide, Austin Smith. Erie Rise will
have to adopt this improvement plan in the next 30 days or Erie School Board
can revoke the renewal proposal.
Next steps for Keystone after vote against SV charter
renewal
Lock Haven Express
by PAT CROSSLEY FOR THE EXPRESS NOV 11, 2019
LOGANTON —
Following a vote by the Keystone Central School Board Wednesday to not renew
the charter for Sugar Valley Rural Charter School, a three-step process is
triggered to deal with the issue, according to Tracie Kennedy, CEO for the
school. Noting that the school was not surprised by the vote, Kennedy said the
next step entails the district sending an official letter to the school
concerning the denial. Taped hearings will then be conducted. The school board
will view the tapes to decide if everything has been presented and holds
another vote. If that vote is again no, Kennedy noted, Sugar Valley can appeal
to the Charter Appeal Board. According to the appeal board’s website, the
charter school files an appeal with CAB stating their reason for disagreeing
with the school board’s denial. The CAB provides written notice of receiving
the appeal, then assigns a docket number and a hearing officer. The school
board has to provide a certified record to the CAB within 10 days. The hearing
officer then holds a pre-hearing conference with both counsels to determine if
more evidence is needed and to set a date for presentation of the case to CAB.
Following the hearing, CAB issues its decision within 60 days. If CAB grants
the appeal, the school board has 10 days to grant the renewal. If they do not
vote to approve in that time, the application is considered automatically renewed.
Kennedy stressed that the school is not closed. The school’s charter, which
runs for a five-year period is good until June 2020.
“Since taking office, the governor has
secured a $1.4 billion increase in education funding for pre-K through college,
including nearly $800 million for basic education, $140 million for special
education, and $40 million for career and technical education.”
Pennsylvania
recognized for education excellence for students with disabilities
Pottstown Mercury MediaNews
Group Nov 14, 2019
WEST CHESTER—State
Education Secretary Pedro A. Rivera announced Thursday that Pennsylvania has
been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) for a 12th year as
achieving the highest level of performance under the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Part B. “Every student in our commonwealth
deserves a high-quality education and must have opportunities to be engaged in
academic coursework that prepares them to be college, career and community
ready,” Secretary Rivera said. “This recognition is a testament to the
educators, administrators and staff who deliver high-quality services to
students with disabilities and their families.” Pennsylvania was one of only 21
states and territories that received the distinction this year. The state’s
excellent work has been recognized with the highest “Meets Requirements”
designation for 12 of the 13 years that the USDE has been issuing its
determinations. Additionally, Secretary Rivera noted the administration’s
commitment to special education, including a $50 million increase in this
year’s budget. Rivera said schools are working hard to ensure every student
regardless of disability is provided with meaningful education supports,
services, and opportunities.
Quakertown approves
new policy that sends lunch debt to collection agency, prohibits students from
attending dances, graduation ceremony
THE MORNING CALL |
By JACQUELINE PALOCHKO NOV 14, 2019 | 9:22 PM
The Quakertown
Community School Board has approved a new policy that bars any student with a
$1,000 debt from participating in activities such as dances, school trips and
graduation ceremonies. The policy also sends the debt to a collection agency.
After a lengthy
discussion, the Quakertown Community School Board approved a policy that could
prohibit students who have lunch debt, overdue books or lost textbooks from
participating in dances, graduation ceremonies or class trips. And if the debt
is $1,000 or more, it will be forwarded to a collection agency under the
parents’ or guardians’ name. The school board voted 7-2 Thursday night on the
policy, which will go into effect immediately. Directors David Ochmanowicz and
Kaylyn Mitchell voted against it. Directors Steaven Klein, Dwight Anderson,
Robert Diliberto, Ron Jackson, Jonathan Kern, Keith Micucci and Jennifer Weed
voted for it. Zach Schoch, Quakertown’s chief operating officer, said the
policy was prompted by the ballooning lunch debt that has essentially become a
line item in the district’s budget. Last year, taxpayers paid off $27,000 in
unpaid debt. But school directors were split on the policy. Ochmanowicz said he
was not comfortable with taking away privileges from students. He also said the
district does not know what families are going through financially. “The child
should not pay for the irresponsible parent who is not paying the debt,” he
said.
100 Women Reading turns into 200 at Harrisburg area

I have been a bit
peeved for a while that the fellas in 100 Men Reading were having a grand old
time going into the schools and reading to the kids, with women being left out
of all the fun. Then, Super Reader Floyd Stokes turned the 100 men into 500,
and that was about all the great women of the Harrisburg region could take. We
got our chance to step up to the plate on Wednesday with the first 100 Women

up for the first event.
Students with mental illness find treatment at school |
Opinion
Penn Live By Scott Suhring Updated Nov 14, 2019;Posted Nov 14, 2019
Educators have long
recognized that mental illness is a disease that can impact many students in
many different ways throughout the school day, including suicidal thoughts,
depression and anxiety. The recent report from the state’s Safe2Say program, a
platform for anonymously potentially unsafe activities, provided a stark
reminder of how these challenges are mounting. The program received roughly
28,500 safety tips in the first six months of 2019, and more than 90 percent of
the tips dealt with mental health issues. We also know and understand much more
clearly that adverse experiences at home such as abuse, or neglect have a
tremendous impact on students. If a parent is absent or incarcerated, for
instance, their children might need additional mental health support. Growing
numbers of students have family members impacted by the opioid crisis or are
facing housing or food insecurities. There are any number of factors that can
impact students as they enter the classroom.
Projection:
Pennsylvania deficit to exceed $1 billion but smaller than previous forecast
By FORD TURNER THE MORNING CALL | NOV 14, 2019 | 1:35 PM
The
"structural deficit” created by state government’s projected spending
exceeding projected revenue will surpass $1 billion in a few years, but still
be much smaller than previously anticipated, the Independent Fiscal Office
predicted on Thursday. The office released its annual economic and budget
outlook in a presentation at Harrisburg University. Director Matthew Knittel
said some reasons for expectations of smaller deficits were a good economy and
wage growth in Pennsylvania that exceeded forecasts. The report is issued
annually by the office to help state residents and lawmakers in policy
decisions. It made economic and demographic assumptions to conclude that,
putting aside various alternate scenarios that could affect both revenue and
expenditures, the state’s deficit will exceed $1 billion by 2022-2023. Specifically,
it called for a deficit of $1.3 billion in that year. Last year, the projection
for the same year was a deficit of $1.8 billion. Among the many assumptions
underlying the office’s projections was one that the economy would not fall
into recession.
“So, it is all the more remarkable anyone
would give so much of their time to serve on a school board. Some might view it
as thankless work, but board members would tell you the intrinsic rewards of
preparing students for success in life are enormous. School board work is not
for the faint of heart, but it is a perfect fit for those who care deeply about
the importance of ensuring all children receive a great public education. These
are the people, from every walk of life, that I have met over more than 39
years of working with and advocating for school boards. They inspire me every
day.”
School Board: Demanding, invaluable public service
By Tom Gentzel Executive Director & CEO at National School Boards Association Published
on November 14, 2019
This article first
appeared in the December 2019 issue of American School Board Journal.
If there is one
thing to know as a school leader, it’s that there is more than one thing to
know. Back in the 1800s, when public schools first were being formed in most
places around the country, the local school board provided basic oversight of a
fledgling operation. The work included building a school (often one room), and
then making sure it was heated, books and other supplies were secured and, of
course, teachers were hired. School board members typically also handled
maintenance and other hands-on duties to keep the school running. Along the
way, as the population grew and the country changed, so too did the public
schools. The growth of urban areas and then suburbia, the Industrial Revolution
and later the Technology Revolution, diversification of the economy, and the
increasing need to be competitive with other countries all have had profound
influences on how public schools evolved. Those school board members who were
in office when the school system was founded would be stunned at the change.
They likely would be in awe of the sheer scope of the operation, and they
probably would have trouble comprehending that the institution they helped to
start, in many communities, now hires more employees and has larger budgets
than any other organization.
Ohio House passes bill allowing student answers to be
scientifically wrong due to religion
by WKRC Staff Wednesday,
November 13th 2019
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKRC) - Ohio lawmakers are weighing in on how public schools can teach things
like evolution. The Ohio House on Wednesday passed the "Student Religious
Liberties Act."
Under the law, students can't be penalized if their work is scientifically
wrong as long as the reasoning is because of their religious beliefs. Instead,
students are graded on substance and relevance. Every Republican in the House
supported the bill. It now moves to the Republican-controlled Senate.
