Senator Dinniman’s Cosponsorship Memo Regarding
Cancellation of PSSA and Keystone Exams This Year
PA General Assembly Website
Posted: March
11, 2020 05:59 PM
From: Senator
Andrew E. Dinniman
To: All
Senate members
Subject: Coronavirus Disease and Schools:
Increasing School Instructional Time
When there is a global health emergency, the
old rules and traditional approaches to solving problems give way to a new
reality. The truth is that the systems we have in place to deal with meeting
school day requirements will be rapidly overwhelmed in the event of any
extended school closings that may arise due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)
pandemic. The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) just won’t be able to
respond quickly enough on a case-by-case basis. And while all branches of
government must work together, I want to remind my colleagues that the
legislature has a special state constitutional obligation in terms of
education. Unlike most other states, education is under the final authority of
the legislature.
With that in mind, I am requesting your
co-sponsorship of legislation that I am proposing to cancel the state PSSA and
Keystone exams for the remainder of this school year and to require PDE to ask
the federal government for a waiver of testing requirements.
I do so for the following reasons:
1. Many of our schools may close for various
periods of time. In my area, this has already begun to happen. Because of this,
students will be prepared with varying amounts of instructional time, which
means that any comparison of school district scores will be at the very least
questionable.
2. With school time being limited in many
schools as a result of closings, all school time should be devoted to subject
instruction, not up to ten days of PSSA and Keystone testing.
3. Keystone results are not required for
graduation. They are only used for federal accountability, which most likely
would be waived in the event of a national health crisis.
4. The millions of dollars saved in not
testing would be put in a fund to assist school districts with any additional
costs associated with extended closings.
5. While online instruction is available in
the wealthier school districts across the state, with each student receiving a
laptop, this is not the case in all school districts. This situation would add
greater inequities to an already unfair situation for our poorer school
districts and those rural districts without the same level of Internet access.
6. Since all students are required to take
these exams, we are not currently prepared to provide an adequate testing situation
for special education students, many who are required to have federally
mandated accommodations. We are not prepared to do this on an immediate basis.
7. We have a significant number of students
with serious health challenges including those who are immuno-compromised. They
are at a higher risk than most to COVID-19.
8. School districts will already have enough
on their plate with potential extended closings. It is time to immediately
remove the PSSA and Keystone exams and allow them to focus on instruction.
Our most important goal here as legislators
right now in terms of education is to ensure the health, safety, and well-being
of our students, teachers, administrators, and staff. Based on the recent news
from what’s happening in Italy and New Rochelle, NY, we have a clear view of
what may occur here in Pennsylvania.
In the face of this emerging national health
emergency, our focus must be on suppressing the spread of COVID-19. We can work
to accomplish this by providing our school districts with the tools they need
to create solutions to help eliminate the COVID-19 pandemic and to expand their
capacity to maximize instructional time.
I respectfully ask you to join me by
co-sponsoring this legislation.
Pa. Senate plans to return to Harrisburg to
authorize remote voting
PA Capital Sar By Elizabeth Hardison March 17,
2020
At least half of Pennsylvania’s 50-member
Senate is scheduled to convene in Harrisburg on Wednesday to pass temporary
rules allowing lawmakers in the Republican-controlled chamber to vote remotely
on legislation. Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre, said the
lawmakers will use the remote work policy to consider bills governing
everything from education to small business administration in the coming weeks,
as Pennsylvania weathers a sweeping shutdown intended to
slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. “We may need legislation to help people
recover or maintain [their livelihoods] during this very difficult time,”
Corman said Tuesday, when he appeared on a live call-in segment broadcast on
Pennsylvania Cable Network. The Senate’s current rules allow some members to
vote in absentia if they can’t be in the Capitol on session days. But the
Senate still needs a quorum of at least 26 members in Harrisburg to conduct
formal business, Corman said Tuesday. The new remote voting process will allow
senators to deliberate and vote on legislation over video or telephone
conference, Corman said. The state House passed a similar rules change on
Monday.
Republicans claim sweep of three House specials in midst
of coronavirus outbreak
PA Capital Star By Stephen Caruso March 17,
2020
Republicans claimed a sweep in three state
House special elections Tuesday, keeping the partisan balance of the lower
chamber intact, and dashing Democratic hopes of a strong night. The wins came across the commonwealth, from
suburban Philadelphia to old milltowns south of Pittsburgh to a rural district
in western Pennsylvania, and left the GOP confident for the rest of 2020 —
including up to November’s critical presidential election. Assuming the results
hold, and are ultimately certified, the GOP would continue to hold a firm
majority of 110 seats in the 203-member House. The results also are a big blow
to Democratic hopes to close a nine-seat deficit and flip the chamber in this November’s
general election. “All three of these candidates won on the strength of their
community ties and message,” Rep. Greg Rothman, R-Cumberland, and chair of the
House Republican Campaign Committee, said in a statement. “As the 2020 Election
begins to come into form, we in the House Republican Caucus are confident we
will not only hold, but expand our majority.” All three seats were formerly
held by Republicans. Two looked in play for Democrats, but the party did not
draw out enough former Blue Dogs in southwestern Pennsylvania or
Trump-skeptical suburbanites outside Philadelphia to flip a district.
“Which party holds onto the 18th district seat is important as
the Pennsylvania Legislature currently is controlled by the Republican majority
107-92. The three vacant House seats up for election in Tuesday’s polling were
all won by Republicans.”
K.C. Tomlinson heading to Harrisburg
Kathleen “KC” Tomlinson has triumphed in a
hard-fought race for the 18th legislative district in Bensalem. Powerful unions
offered plenty of support but, in the end, old fashioned door-to-door
conversations with Bensalem neighbors appear to have won Kathleen “KC”
Tomlinson victory in Tuesday’s special election for the 18th legislative
district. With all but two precincts reporting, unofficial results from the
Bucks County Board of Elections had Tomlinson leading Democrat Harold Hayes by
nearly 500 votes. Republican Party officials had her leading by more than 870
votes with all precincts reporting, but that could not immediately be
confirmed. Tomlinson is the 31-year-old daughter of state Sen. Tommy Tomlinson,
who has held office since 1995. Her victory means the township will be
represented by a Tomlinson in both the state House and Senate.
PSBA: Coronavirus Preparedness Guidance
In the last few weeks, the novel coronavirus
(SARS-CoV-2), which causes the respiratory illness COVID-19, has become a topic
of concern nationwide. Although the virus is not widespread in Pennsylvania at
this time, that status could change. Being proactive is key to prevention and
mitigation. Below, you will find a list of resources on all aspects of
preparedness, including guidance on communication planning, policy, emergency
management and disease control. Use these resources to help you make decisions
regarding the safety and health of those in your school district.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) has provided
further clarification as school districts begin to navigate closures due to the
COVID-19 outbreak.
PDE's #coronavirus guidance for
staff, students and district operations
PDE COVID-19 Response Efforts Updated March
15, 2020 – 12 p.m.
Pennsylvania’s top priority is keeping
students and school communities safe. On March 13, Governor Tom Wolf announced
all public schools in Pennsylvania will be closed for the next two weeks. The
spread of the COVID-19 has required everyone to work within rapidly changing
circumstances. We are incredibly proud of the education leaders who have been
navigating this extraordinary situation for weeks – the work that has been done
helped inform the Governor’s actions. The following provides greater clarity on
COVID-19 response efforts by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE).
If you know of any other organizations distributing meals for (Philly)
students out of school, please reach out to reporter Avi Wolfman-Arent (awolfmanarent@whyy.org). We’ll update this list as we hear
about more community efforts.
Below WHYY will maintain a list of all organizations who say
they are providing free meals for those in need during the coronavirus
outbreak.
Where Philly kids can find free meals during coronavirus
school closures
WHYY By Avi Wolfman-Arent March 17, 2020
To create an improvised meal-distribution
program that would feed thousands of families across two-dozen sites, the
Mastery Charter Schools network needed some help. Administrators asked if three
staffers at each of its 24 schools could volunteer time to provide this
critical service. The response was “overwhelming,” said Kerry Woodward,
Mastery’s Deputy Chief of Institutional Advancement. Between 10 and 15 staffers
stepped up at each school, helping the region’s largest charter-school network
pull off this considerable undertaking in just three days.
“We are serving our communities by serving
meals to anyone in need,” said Woodward.
Mastery started dishing out meals Tuesday and
will do so twice a week “for as long as necessary,” Woodward said. And the need
is clear. Mastery distributed 400 meals to 300 families within the first hour
of opening its site at Shoemaker School in West Philadelphia, according to
Woodward. When Philadelphia officials initially resisted calls to close city
schools, one of their biggest concerns was food insecurity. Schools
provide two free meals a day to thousands of children around the region. And as
workers lose paychecks due to mandatory business closures, the need could rise.
The School District of Philadelphia has set up thirty sites where families can
get meals. But they aren’t the only ones trying to help.
Pittsburgh Public Schools closes 7 lunch sites after
workers exposed to covid-19 outside of work
Trib Live by TAWNYA PANIZZI | Wednesday,
March 18, 2020 6:26 a.m.
Pittsburgh Public Schools closed seven
grab-and-go lunch sites because of employees who were exposed to a confirmed
case of covid-19 outside of work, officials said. The
buildings will be sanitized during the closure. They include Arsenal K-5,
Arsenal 6-8, Classical Academy, Carmalt PreK-8, Fulton, Linden and Schiller. The
district is working to find alternate sites for food distribution. The Central
Administration Building in Oakland and the Greenway Professional Development
Center in the West End will also be shut down. District officials said two
employees who travel daily between district facilities were exposed to covid-19
at a non-work event. Gov. Tom Wolf on March 13 ordered all Pennsylvania
K-12 schools to close for at
least 10 business days to help thwart the spread of the coronavirus. He said
schools are permitted to hand out food to low-income families to help bridge
the gap. In Pennsylvania, 885,000 children, or about half of the state’s
students, qualified for the National School Lunch Program, according to Kids
Count’s data center.
“This follows guidance from the Pennsylvania Department of
Education that schools are not required to provide instruction during this
time. “Although not required, many schools have plans, or are creating plans,
to provide continuity of education,” the PDE guidance says. The issue is
partly logistical – teachers are not with their students, and they have
families to take care of. Lewis of the District noted that many Philadelphia
households do not have the technology to engage remotely with teachers, unlike
in some suburban districts where everybody is online and technology is
omnipresent. But the issue is also partly legal. If districts or schools
strive to provide “continuity of education,” they have to make sure that they
are meeting the legal obligations to students with special needs and English
learners – something much harder to do under these circumstances.”
Philly District distributes packets of schoolwork, but
how much teaching and learning will go on?
For the most part, families are on their own
when it comes to schoolwork. There are no requirements on teachers.
The notebook by Dale
Mezzacappa March 17 — 6:36 pm, 2020
Around 10:30 Tuesday morning, Jaime Longo
arrived at her children’s school, Houston Elementary in Mt. Airy, where they
are first and third graders. She didn’t have to touch the door — it was propped
open at the bottom and an elbow shove would suffice. At the top of the stairs
in front of her, a Houston staffer sat behind a desk covered with piles of
learning packets, divided by grade level. Longo picked up a packet and
talked about what her days are like during this unprecedented
time. As a Ph.D. and professor of English at LaSalle, she is
better positioned than most to offer her children valuable learning activities.
Still, doing this while teaching her LaSalle classes remotely is not easy. “I
spent a lot of time this weekend on a schedule and syllabus for both of my
kids,” she said. Using educator jargon, she added, “I am trying to build out
scaffolding for them.” Her daily schedule includes building in exercise
as well as academic work. Monday it was a 40-minute walk; today, it is yoga.
What is important is to create a routine, she said.
“We are responsible for providing free appropriate public
education to all students,” said Jeff Fuller, superintendent of Freedom Area
School District. “For our students placed in out of district placements that we
don’t provide the day-to-day instruction for, we’re asking how do we go about
providing that appropriate instructional activity?”
Most Beaver County public schools won’t require
instruction during shutdown
Beaver County Times By Daveen
Rae Kurutz @DK_NewsData and @DKreports Posted
Mar 16, 2020 at 8:25 PM
Students in 11 of Beaver County’s 14 school
districts won’t have any homework responsibilities during Gov. Tom Wolf’s
mandated two week closure, superintendents said on Monday. No more homework, no
more books — well, at least for two weeks. Students in 11 of Beaver County’s 14
school districts won’t have any homework responsibilities during Gov. Tom
Wolf’s mandated two-week closure, superintendents said Monday. “A lot of us had
planned on providing continuity of services using an online approach, but we’re
pulling back on that for the next two weeks,” said Carrie Rowe, superintendent
at the Beaver Area School District. “Things keep continuing to shift, so until
we have greater guidance from the state that will help us, we’re not offering
instruction.” A big concern for officials was how to provide instruction for
students of all abilities, particularly those with special education needs. “We are responsible for providing free appropriate public
education to all students,” said Jeff Fuller, superintendent of Freedom Area
School District. “For our students placed in out of district placements that we
don’t provide the day-to-day instruction for, we’re asking how do we go about
providing that appropriate instructional activity?” All districts are working
on that issue now. But in the meantime, South Side Area School District intends
to offer instruction online to students beginning as early as Wednesday,
Superintendent Alan Fritz said.
Hundreds of Scientists Scramble to Find a Coronavirus
Treatment
In an ambitious international collaboration,
researchers have “mapped” proteins in the coronavirus and identified 50 drugs
to test against it.
New York Times By Carl
Zimmer March 17, 2020
Working at a breakneck pace, a team of
hundreds of scientists has identified 50 drugs that may be effective treatments
for people infected with the coronavirus. Many scientists are seeking drugs
that attack the virus itself. But the Quantitative Biosciences Institute
Coronavirus Research Group, based at the University of California, San
Francisco, is testing an unusual new approach. The researchers are looking for
drugs that shield proteins in our own cells that the coronavirus depends on to
thrive and reproduce. Many of the candidate drugs are already approved to treat
diseases, such as cancer, that would seem to have nothing to do with Covid-19,
the illness caused by the coronavirus. Scientists at Mount Sinai Hospital in
New York and at the Pasteur Institute in Paris have already begun to test the
drugs against the coronavirus growing in their labs. The far-flung research
group is preparing to release its findings at the end of the week.
New analysis suggests months of social distancing may be
needed to stop virus
WHYY/NPR By Nell Greenfieldboyce March 17,
2020
The United States is facing a grim dilemma:
either effectively shut down society for months to prevent transmission of the
coronavirus, or see health care systems overwhelmed by people needing treatment
for severe infections. That’s the conclusion of a influential new analysis by a
well-respected group at Imperial College London that does computer simulations
of outbreaks.
Its findings put policy makers in a bind as
they think about how to move forward in the weeks ahead, when there’s no
vaccine or proven treatment. “The take home message of that Imperial College
model is that in order to keep from overwhelming the health care system with
severe cases, we are going to have to have very tight controls in place on
transmission through social distancing. And those controls are going to be so
tight that they will be economically and socially very damaging,” says Marc Lipsitch, an expert on infectious disease
modeling at Harvard University. “There’s no really good option that doesn’t
involve at least one of those two problems,” he added. “And in fact, both could
happen if we aren’t very careful about how we manage things.”
Kansas governor addresses coronavirus pandemic by closing
K-12 schools for rest of academic year
Penn Live By Tribune
News Service Posted Mar 17, 2020
TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly
ordered K-12 schools closed for the rest of the academic year Tuesday as the
state continued to escalate its response to the coronavirus — a decision that
will lead to massive upheaval for thousands of students and their families. “The
reality of this pandemic is that it cannot be controlled statewide if school
buildings return to normal operations or if they respond inconsistently within
our local communities,” Kelly said at a late-afternoon news conference.
“Unprecedented circumstances threaten the safety of our students and the
professionals who work with them every day.” The Democratic governor and top
education officials vowed to continue the task of educating the state's
children, though they acknowledged they're now in a situation without
precedent. A task force of education experts is developing a plan for the
months ahead, and will present their recommendations Wednesday, the governor
said.
California schools likely to be closed for the rest of
the school year, Gov. Newsom says
Post Gazette by HOWARD BLUME Los Angeles
Times MAR 17, 2020 10:21 PM
LOS ANGELES — California public schools are
likely to be closed for the remainder of the school year in response to the
escalating spread of coronavirus, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Tuesday afternoon. “Don’t
anticipate schools are going to open up in a week. Please don’t anticipate in a
few weeks,” Newsom said during a Sacramento news conference on the state’s
coronavirus efforts. “I would plan, and assume, that it’s unlikely that many of
these schools — few, if any — will open before the summer break.” Nearly all
school districts in the state, 98.8%, are closed in response to the coronavirus
pandemic, Newsom said. The state education department is assembling detailed
guidelines on how schools can attempt to continue teaching 6.1 million students
out of their classrooms in the weeks and months ahead. The governor later said
his comments reflect what he believes will be the challenges across California
in the weeks to come, as the coronavirus pandemic changes the daily course of
life.
Democrats Unveil $3 Billion Coronavirus Aid Package for
Education
Education Week Politics K12 By Andrew Ujifusa on March
17, 2020 12:05 PM
Leading Democrats on congressional education
committees have introduced an emergency aid package to help K-12 schools
and colleges and universities deal with the spread of the coronavirus, which
has triggered a mass closure of schools across the country. The Supporting Students in
Response to Coronavirus Act would provide $1.2 billion in
mandatory funding to support K-12 and higher education institutions as
they do everything from clean facilities and provide meals, to plan for
extended school closure and provide mental health resources and support. Early-childhood
education programs would also receive $600 million in the legislation for
similar purposes. The legislation would also direct money to students impacted
by university and college closures, as well as $3 million to aid children and
families through the National Child Traumatic
Stress Network (which was created by Congress
to help researchers and front-line providers help children and families who
have experienced trauma). In total, the bill would provide $3 billion in new
federal funding. The coronavirus has upended K-12 education—most states
by now have shut down their schools, and educators have rushed to try to ensure
online learning opportunities are available where possible. But it's not clear
when or if this education-focused coronavirus bill will advance.
