Chester Upland SD supporters rally against charter proposal
Delco Times by Alex Rose December 3, 2019
CHESTER — About 50
opponents of a proposal to “charterize” elementary schools in the Chester
Upland School District braved frigid December temperatures to stage a rally
outside Chester High School Tuesday evening, one day before a hearing in
Delaware County Common Pleas Court that could decide the future of the
district. “We stand here today in support of the right of children of Chester
to have a quality education that prepares them for the future – not the
cheapest education that leads to nowhere,” said John Shelton, president of the
Chester Upland Education Association, representing approximately 225 members. “The
law requires that the charter proves it can provide a cheaper education,” he
said. “We want a better education for our students. We’re asking everyone in
the community to stand with us and make this our fight, now.” The law Shelton
referenced is Act 141 of 2012, which allowed the state to declare certain
districts, including Chester Upland, as being in “Financial Recovery Status”
and place them under receivership. A “conversion” provision of the act would
allow the district to convert an existing school to a charter school as part of
a “Recovery Plan” if it would result in financial savings. Chester Community
Charter School, the largest brick-and-mortar charter school in the state with
more than 4,300 students, already educates more than half of the district’s
elementary school children.
PISA Scores Are Out. Ours Are Not Great. So What?
Forbes by Peter Greene Senior Contributor Dec 3, 2019,
08:30am
It’s PISA Day, the
day when the Programme for International Student Assessment scores are released
by OECD (The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). This
is traditionally followed by a great deal of hand-wringing. A typically glum
assessment was written by
Dana Goldstein for the New York Times this morning. “The
performance of American teenagers has been stagnant since 2000,” Goldstein
reports. As education historian Diane Ravitch notes every time PISA scores come
out, the
U.S. results have always been mediocre. There has never been a golden age when the U.S. led the world in PISA
results. The top scores this year come from the usual batch of test takers, including
the Chinese, who give
the test to students from wealthy provinces who could be remotely considered a
cross-section of the nation as a whole. PISA day is also the one day that some
folks hear about Estonia, the tiny nation that somehow has not conquered the
world even though their students do well on the PISA. PISA coverage tends to
overlook one major question—why should anyone care about these scores? Where is
the research showing a connection between PISA scores and a nation’s economic,
political, or global success?

Gov. Wolf: Career and
Technical Education Prepares Students for In-Demand Jobs
Governor Wolf’s
Website December 02, 2019
Governor Tom Wolf
visited the Eastern Center for Arts and Technology (EASTERN) today to talk with
students about their employment goals and watch a demonstration of their
skills. The students led the governor, legislators and local education leaders
on a tour of the career and technical education center (CTC) in Montgomery
County. Expanding opportunities for students to get hands-on training for jobs
in high-demand industries is a priority for the governor. “The vo-tech of the
past has been transformed into advanced career and technical centers where
students can get an education and develop real-world skills,” said Governor
Wolf. “There isn’t a one-size-fits-all path for every high school student and
CTCs give students options to choose which path is best for them. After
graduation they can continue their education in college or a job training
program or enter the workforce.” There are more than 80
CTCs in Pennsylvania that
offer a combination of classes and hands-on learning in programs approved by
the Department of Education. Thousands of students earn industry credentials or
certifications for local jobs in high demand, so they graduate on a path for
success. The governor’s groundbreaking PAsmart initiative is investing $70 million over two years to expand science and
technology education, apprenticeships and industry partnerships, including $10
million for CTCs.
York City financial recovery exit denied months ago,
state says
Lindsay C VanAsdalan, York
Dispatch Published 4:41 p.m. ET Dec. 3, 2019 | Updated 4:53 p.m. ET Dec.
3, 2019
The state
Department of Education denied York City School District's request to terminate
its financial recovery status in August, according to a letter addressed to
district officials and provided Tuesday to The York Dispatch. The
document's release came after the district's recovery officer, Carol Saylor,
had previously said in November that there were no updates about York
City's petition to get out from under the state designation. This summer, York
City officials were hopeful the Education Department would free the
school district from its recovery designation, which it has been under for
years. But the state instead decided the district hadn't displayed enough
improvement in academic and financial benchmarks to exit recovery status,
according to the August determination. The department considered academic
and fiscal outcomes from the 2017-18 school year, the
district's first full year under its amended recovery plan. The
letter from Education Secretary Pedro Rivera notes that while students
had made modest gains, graduation rates were still far below the
state average. And in the most recent years, there has been a decrease in
the unassigned fund balance and a widened gap between revenues and
expenditures, according to the letter.
Budget hearing for
Pittsburgh schools addresses mental health programs, state oversight
Trib Live by TOM
DAVIDSON AND BOB BAUDER | Monday, December 2, 2019 6:11 p.m.
Many residents who
came to a public hearing Monday on the 2020 Pittsburgh Public Schools budget
didn’t focus on the spending plan that includes a 2.3% rise in property taxes
collected by the district, the first tax increase in five years. Instead, the
bigger concern was the district’s spending on school security and policing
instead of allocating more resources to counseling and intervention programs
for students. Dr. Claire Cohen, a psychiatrist from Point Breeze, said the
district needs to allocate more funding to counseling and mental health
programs for students and less to police and security of schools. The budget
proposal includes $7.2 million to be spent on school safety and includes 92
positions. The support staff of the district, which covers services such as the
counseling and intervention programs Cohen referenced, makes up $11.7 million
of the budget and has 88 staff members.
Philly School Planning Review could transform District
The District
has launched comprehensive review of neighborhood elementary schools that will
seek to predict demographic changes rather than just react to them. It also
aims to increase access to pre-K and smooth out the transitions between grade
levels.
The notebook by Dale Mezzacappa December 3 — 10:13 am, 2019
Ask Superintendent
William Hite why the Philadelphia School District has started a massive
planning process now – an endeavor that could reshape the landscape of schools
in the city – and he presents a simple fact: Five years ago, Mayfair
Elementary School had 1,200 students. Today it has 2,400. Once District leaders
absorbed the magnitude of the upheaval in this modest Northeast rowhouse
community, they launched the construction of a 10-classroom addition. They are
now in the process of building an entirely new school in the neighborhood. But,
for the most part, the District found itself in reaction mode, unprepared for
such a dramatic shift in so short a time. “We saw how quickly the demographics
changed,” Hite said. The questions arose: Where else was this happening?
And what should we do? After more than a year of preparation, the
District has launched its attempt at finding answers: the Comprehensive School
Planning Review (CSPR). By combining community input and demographic data, the
process aims to bring equity and efficiency to a sprawling system and balance
anticipated population changes, neighborhood and school histories, and the
wishes of students and families.
Proposed changes to tax abatement get heated debate in
City Council
Council has
to act by Dec. 12, or wait until newly-elected members, which include
anti-abatement activist Kendra Brooks, are seated in January.
The notebook by Bill Hangley Jr. December 3 — 11:30 pm, 2019
Depending on who
you listen to, Philadelphia’s 10-year tax abatement on new residential
development is either a growth-boosting policy in need of minor revisions,
or a budget-crippling giveaway that exacerbates racism and inequity. Or
something in between. That was the very mixed message at Tuesday’s City Council
hearings on the future of the abatement, which after almost two decades
will soon face its first substantive reconsideration by lawmakers.
Following over three hours of public testimony, Council voted unanimously to
advance a package of reforms sponsored by Council President Darrell Clarke,
setting the stage for a final vote before the end of the year. “A
lot of people don’t think we’re going far enough. But we want a reasonable approach,”
said Clarke, whose proposed legislation would reduce but not eliminate the
abatement, essentially cutting in half its subsidy for new construction. “At
some point you’ve got to adjust,” said Clarke. His bill would provide a full
tax break in the first year, and then slowly raise payments over the course of
ten years. “It’s been a 20-year run …we’re approaching a significant change
that will help the school district.” The proposed changes come as City Council
and Mayor Jim Kenney face rising concerns about the impact of the
abatement. Voters recently elected a staunch abatement opponent, Kendra
Brooks, to an at-large Council seat, and a chorus of public school parents
and activists has steadily called for its elimination, saying it drains schools
of vital funding.
Pennsylvania district is at odds with charter school over
new campus
Lehigh
Valley Academy wants to move to a new location and build a $50 million campus,
but the Bethlehem Area district is balking at the plan.
American School
& University by Mike Kennedy | Dec 03, 2019
The Bethlehem
Area (Pa.) School District is preparing for a legal skirmish with
a charter school over its plans
to move to a new location and build a $50.4 million campus. The Easton Express-Times reports that Bethlehem
school board has hired a lawyer to represent the district during
the Lehigh Valley Academy’s application for a new charter. Rather
than apply to amend its existing charter, Lehigh Valley Academy is requesting a
new charter for its proposed campus in Bethlehem Township. Pursuing a new
charter would give the academy appeal rights if its charter application is
rejected; it wouldn't have appeal rights in a charter renewal
process. The academy's charter expires in December 2021, and
the school has said it doesn’t want to break ground on a new
facility without knowing it can relocate. Lehigh Valley Academy’s two
chartering school districts — Bethlehem Area and Saucon Valley — must
sign off on its move. Under the state’s charter school law,
a school may buy property without permission of its chartering
district, but it cannot change locations. Lehigh Valley Academy has 1,767 K-12
students from 16 districts across the Lehigh Valley, but the majority — 1,035
students — come from the Bethlehem Area School District.
Rejected charter
school has applied to Conestoga Valley a second time: 'History says they'll
deny it'
Lancaster Online by
ALEX GELI | Staff
Writer December 4,
2019
After his proposed
charter school was
denied by the
Conestoga Valley school board in September, GT Freeman said it was “just the
beginning.” He wasn’t bluffing.
Freeman, the CEO of
the Lincoln Center for Family and Youth, a Montgomery County-based social
services nonprofit, resubmitted an application this week to create the TLC
Leadership Charter School. The privately run, taxpayer-funded school would
educate and provide daily counseling sessions for up to 200 students in
kindergarten through 12th grade struggling with school phobia, anxiety and
other mental health issues. While it would be located in the Conestoga Valley
School District, Freeman said he expects to serve students from 18 school
districts throughout the region. School District of Lancaster would be the
largest source of students. Funding for the school would come from the
students’ home school districts. “History says they’ll deny it,” Freeman said
of the Conestoga Valley school board, which has the ultimate say over the
school’s approval. “But I’m hopeful that they’ll see that this is a very unique
and a very innovative approach.” The school board denied TLC’s
first application this
fall in part because of a lack of community support for the school and because
the vast majority of its students wouldn’t come from Conestoga Valley.
Neshaminy to appeal state ruling on controversial
nickname
WHYY By Aaron Moselle December 3, 2019
The Neshaminy
School District in Bucks County is appealing a state decision that requires it
to get rid of any logos and imagery that “negatively stereotype Native
Americans.” For more than a half-century, the suburban district has called some
of its sports teams the “Redskins,” a term many consider a racial slur. The
high school’s basketball team pairs the name with a logo depicting a Native
American warrior. The baseball team has a tomahawk on its caps. The football
team’s helmets are adorned with the word “Skins.” In a statement, the district
said it was “compelled” to appeal because the decision is rooted in
“unsubstantiated claims of racism,” and because it would force it to spend
taxpayer dollars — potentially up to $1 million — to alter facilities and
programs. The ruling, announced by the Pennsylvania Human Relations
Commission last week, allows the district
to keep using the word “Redskins” as long as it educates its students about stereotyping. The
district is also appealing that part of the decision, saying in the same
statement that the requirement interferes “with the authority of the duly
elected School Board,” as well as the “District’s effort to teach students to
think independently as opposed to indoctrinating them with certain points of
view.”
“The efforts come as more students use
keyboards and screens for learning and taking notes. Studies show that drawing
a letter by hand activates a child’s neurological centers as reading and
writing does for adults, while using a keyboard produces little effect. It’s
also been shown that students who hand-write their notes better retain
information.”
New Jersey legislator introduces bill that would require
students to learn cursive
Inquirer by Ellie Rushing, Updated: December 3, 2019- 7:12 PM
New Jersey’s
elementary school students would be required to learn, read, and write cursive
by the end of third grade, under a bill now in the state Assembly. “In some
cases, children are entering middle school without knowing how to sign their
own name in cursive,” said Assemblywoman Angela McKnight, a Democrat who
represents parts of Hudson County. “We are doing our children a disservice by
not teaching them a vital skill they will need for the rest of their lives.” A
news release from McKnight’s office cites data from Scholastic that learning
cursive helps children become better spellers, and stronger readers and writers. Cursive instruction became a rarity
in public elementary classrooms after the Common Core dropped its requirement
in 2010. However, since then, many states, including Illinois, Ohio, and Texas,
have made efforts to reintroduce cursive requirements.
Enrollment in Teacher-Preparation Programs Is Declining
Fast. Here's What the Data Show
Education Week By Madeline Will on December 3, 2019 2:15 PM
Across the country,
enrollment in teacher-preparation programs has dropped by a third from 2010 to
2018, a new report finds. The report from the Center for American Progress, a
left-leaning think tank, analyzed federal data to find that nearly every
state in the nation has experienced enrollment declines, with some states
seeing steep declines of more than 50 percent. And the number of black and
Hispanic teacher-candidates enrolled in teacher preparation dropped by a
quarter over that eight-year time period. Enrollment numbers can be a
"proxy for interest in the teaching profession," said Lisette
Partelow, the senior director of K-12 strategic initiatives at CAP and the
author of the report. Some of these declines, she added, are "quite
worrying." A national poll
conducted earlier this year found
that 55 percent of teachers wouldn't want their children to follow in their
footsteps, and half say they're so unhappy with their jobs that they have
seriously considered leaving the profession. The CAP report also found
that there was a 28 percent decline in students completing teacher-preparation
programs during this eight-year time period.
The PISA test scores cast doubt on U.S. education efforts
Post-Gazette by THE NEW YORK TIMES DEC 4, 2019 2:45 AM
The performance of
American teenagers in reading and math has been stagnant since 2000, according
to the latest results of a rigorous international exam, despite a decades-long
effort to raise standards and help students compete with peers across the globe.
And the achievement gap in reading between high and low performers is widening.
Although the top quarter of American students have improved their performance
on the exam since 2012, the bottom 10th percentile lost ground, according to an
analysis by the National Center for Education Statistics, a federal agency. The
disappointing results from the exam, the Program for International Student
Assessment, were announced on Tuesday and follow those from the National
Assessment of Educational Progress, an American test that recently showed that
two-thirds of children were not proficient readers. Over all, American
15-year-olds who took the PISA test scored slightly above students from peer
nations in reading but below the middle of the pack in math. Low-performing
students have been the focus of decades of bipartisan education overhaul
efforts, costing many billions of dollars, that have resulted in a string of
national programs — No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, the Common Core
State Standards, the Every Student Succeeds Act — but uneven results.
Yong Zhao: How PISA created an illusion of education
quality and marketed it to the world
Washington Post Answer
Sheet By Valerie Strauss Reporter Dec. 3, 2019 at 1:41 p.m. EST
In case you missed
it: The latest scores from PISA, the Program for International Student
Assessment, were announced on Tuesday, and, yet again, as has been true since
the birth of international tests, American students did not top the rankings or
even come close. U.S. scores have remained stagnant since PISA started nearly
20 years ago — and, as in the past, they will be seen as an indictment of
whatever it is people want to indict: schools, teachers, students, the
reformers who tried to change public schools by running them like businesses. PISA
tests 15-year-olds in dozens of countries and individual education systems in
math, reading and science every three years; in 2018, 600,000 students from 79
countries and school systems took the exam. Reading and math scores for U.S.
students have not changed significantly since PISA began, with some
improvements in science. For 2018, the scores were essentially the same as they
were in 2015. As my Post colleagues Moriah Balingit and Andrew Van Dam wrote here, U.S. students ranked eighth in reading, 11th in science and 30th in
math. First in all three subjects was China, which for PISA means the four
provinces of Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang (even though the country
has more than 20 provinces). Singapore was second in all three subjects.
So what do the PISA
scores really tell us?
The award winning documentary Backpack Full of
Cash that explores the siphoning of funds from traditional public
schools by charters and vouchers will be shown in three locations in the
