PA Ed Policy Roundup for April 24, 2020



PSBA Virtual Advocacy Day 2020  MAY 11, 2020 • 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Now more than ever before – Make your voice heard!
Join us virtually to support public education!
All public school leaders are invited to join us for our first ever Virtual Advocacy Day on Monday, May 11, 2020 via Zoom. We need all of you to help strengthen our advocacy impact. The day will center around reaching out to your legislators to discuss the steps you have taken to deal with the pandemic crisis and the steps legislators can take to provide schools the flexibility and creativity needed to weather the storm.  Mandate relief, budgeting flexibility, charter funding reform and other legislative changes need to be considered to give school district flexibility.



Coronavirus fallout could devastate Philly schools, cause billion-dollar deficit
WHYY By Avi Wolfman-Arent April 23, 2020
In roughly a month, the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic has flipped the economic fortunes of the School District of Philadelphia. The extent of the fiscal damage was laid out in a budget meeting Thursday, where district officials projected an immediate, $64 million hit to district revenues and a five-year deficit projection of $1 billion. In March, for a fleeting moment, the district unfurled a budget projection that was unusually sunny. Revenues and expenses were predicted to grow at about the same rate, and five years down the road officials thought the 130,000-student district would still have about $160 million in the bank. That was before COVID-19 wreaked havoc on the national economy and government budgets. Now, the district thinks it will be $1 billion in the red by fiscal year 2024-25. That projection does not include the potential implications of new contracts for the district’s two largest labor unions, both of which have deals that expire this year. There is still much to be decided between now and 2024-25, including the status of federal aid, the budget decisions of state lawmakers, and the elasticity of city revenues that depend on local economic activity. But the grim tone of Thursday’s meeting suggested that officials have a mammoth challenge ahead, and that they’re relying on political pressure to stave off the worst cuts.

“We definitely do not want to repeat the mistakes of the last recession when federal funds were used to supplant state aid, and education funding was slashed for every district across the state,” said Staley. “It took nearly a full decade to recover from those cuts.”
District to state: stop austerity before it starts
With massive deficits once again looming, officials and advocates say stimulus dollars should go to districts, not state deficit reduction.
The notebook by Bill Hangley Jr. and Dale Mezzacappa April 23 — 11:23 pm, 2020
The unprecedented coronavirus crisis could soon put Philadelphia school officials in a very familiar position: begging Harrisburg legislators for money. But District officials say they don’t want that to happen, even as the prospect of a billion-dollar deficit has demolished what had been a balanced budget. Thursday, the Board of Education used its first budget hearing since the arrival of the global pandemic to urge officials to keep state education spending robust even as revenues fall, and keep federal stimulus dollars flowing to local school districts. The pandemic’s hit to the state education budget “has the potential to erase all of the progress we have made over the last eight years,” said Superintendent William Hite. During Thursday’s hearing, conducted virtually over Zoom and streamed live over the internet and public access channels, officials laid out a raft of unpleasant fiscal projections based on the economic shutdown the pandemic has triggered. This year’s District budget took a modest hit but is still in the black, they said. But next year’s budget gap could approach $40 million, officials said, and within five years the District could face a shortfall of as much as a billion dollars. The looming revenue shortfall could undermine not just the District’s finances but its fragile gains in academics, staffing levels and school climate, officials said. “This is not just about a budget, dollars and cents,” said Board President Joyce Wilkerson. “There are real children’s futures on the line.”

Why the U.S. economy won’t fully recover until the mid-2020s, says Moody’s Mark Zandi
by Mark Zandi, For The Inquirer, Updated: April 23, 2020- 12:00 PM
As infections from COVID-19 peak, so, too, does the economic fallout from the virus. The statistics in coming weeks will be grim, but a recovery should begin by Memorial Day. The critical question is how strong a recovery. Unfortunately, not very, at least not until there is a vaccine in widespread use, and even then the economy will take years to fully recover. First, the statistics. The virus is causing unprecedented economic damage. The jobs lost this month will top more than 20 million. This will entirely wipe out the increase in jobs during the previously record-long economic expansion. Unemployment will surge to more than 15%, far and away the highest unemployment rate since the 1930s Great Depression. And this significantly understates the stress in the job market, because many of the unemployed will not be actively looking for work (because they can’t) and thus won’t be counted as unemployed by government statisticians. A broader measure of underemployment that includes these workers will approach a mind-boggling 25%. This should be the worst of it, as some businesses across the country appear likely to reopen in coming weeks. Governors of many states are under intensifying pressure to ease the lockdowns regardless of whether this makes the most sense in combating the virus.

Technology investment allows North Allegheny to focus on online education in time of COVID-19
PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE APR 23, 2020 11:58 AM
Editor’s note: This series of interviews with local school superintendents is based on interviews over recent weeks, which have been edited for length.
Robert J. Scherrer, 45, heads the North Allegheny School District, an 8,600-student behemoth that draw kids from Bradford Woods, Franklin Park, Marshall and McCandless. There are more than 1,000 staff members to run the district’s seven elementary schools, three middle schools, and two high schools. Although he lives in McCandless, Mr. Scherrer is a South Hills kid. He grew up in Whitehall and also lived in Pleasant Hills but moved when he got the superintendent’s job seven years ago as a way to grapple with the challenging commute. He lives with his wife and son, an eighth grader at North Allegheny, and their daughter, a 2018 graduate who recently had to come home from Duquesne University, where she is a sophomore, because of the COVID-19 virus. Mr. Scherrer’s father was an engineer, his mother ran preschools. He once was principal of Taylor Allderdice High School in Pittsburgh. In July he will take over as executive director of the Allegheny Intermediate Unit, the regional public education agency.

When children return to school, they will most likely need to wear masks, Philly superintendent says
Inquirer by Kristen A. Graham, Updated: April 23, 2020- 11:28 AM
Whenever children are allowed to return to schools, they will almost certainly need to wear masks, Philadelphia Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. said Thursday. Referring to the color-coded system Gov. Tom Wolf introduced this week for reopening the state amid the coronavirus pandemic, Hite, in a call with reporters, said the directions were clear. “In the governor’s plan, it had the wearing of masks into the late fall,” said Hite. “We are planning as if … we would need masks for young people to show up for school.” Pennsylvania officials have ordered in-person classes canceled for the remainder of the school year, and it’s not yet clear whether students who qualify will be able to attend in-person summer school or even whether school doors will open in the fall. Hite also said Philadelphia, which has distributed 75,000 Chromebooks to students to date, will not be able to purchase enough mobile hot spots — small, portable devices that create a wireless connection by using the data of a smartphone, computer or tablet. Some families who lack internet access will be able to get connected for free, but some students, particularly those who live in homeless shelters or in other situations where wireless networks cannot be installed, will have trouble connecting to their teachers via the internet. Hite said numbers are not yet firm, but estimated that thousands will be in that category.

Remote instruction begins for Philly public schools, meal distribution changes
By Chanel Hill  Special to the Capital-Star  -April 24, 2020
Chanel Hill is a reporter for the Philadelphia Tribune, where this story first appeared.
The School District of Philadelphia implemented its formal digital learning plan this week, which begins with two weeks of enrichment and review before going to graded instruction in early May. “We’re not sure what the grades will look like, but it won’t be based on just students who can log on,” School District of Philadelphia Superintendent William Hite said Thursday. “The students can also email, text message, and use phone calls, but [grading] could be just on participation. We’ll also be looking at the completion of assignments.” The school district has distributed approximately 75,000 Chromebooks to help students participate in digital learning activities. Students and families can drop off Chromebooks in need of repair or service at one of two parent and family technology support centers. Centers will be open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, and are located at the Education Center, 440 N. Broad St. (First Floor Lobby) and FitzPatrick Annex Building, 4101 Chalfont Dr. (rear of FitzPatrick Elementary School). Families can also pick up a loaner Chromebook at these locations if they did not previously receive one through their student’s school.

“Building a school community remotely is hard. The physical space, routine, and other elements that unite us aren’t available. Schools are trying to work around this in different ways: spirit weeks, daily advisory meetings, phone calls, digital office hours, text messages, video messages offering hope and “we miss you,” and increased social media efforts. How do we know if it’s all working? Families and schools must evaluate these approaches often. As we navigate the rest of the school year, here are questions, based on my experience as an educator, we can use to guide us:”
Is remote learning working? A teacher’s perspective on how to measure success. | Opinion
By Nancy Ironside, For the Inquirer Updated: April 23, 2020 - 9:00 AM
The highlight of my quarantine happened Saturday, several weeks into “online school.” It was an email from one of my students who, in typical times, is a go-getter. She uses inquiry and research artfully — not just for a fifth grader, but for a human. She wrote: “I know I’ve been missing work and I know you noticed too. I am deeply sorry for not doing work. Right now I do not have access to my chromebook. I will have access to it by Sunday or Monday to do my missing work. I take school very seriously and I love school so much. Missing you.” I was moved to tears by her words — not just out of relief that she was OK, but for her clear sense of worry. Bad enough to have to move (which she told me she had to do the previous weekend), or not have access to your technology, but to fear that these real and human conditions would count against her and hurt her grade, along with her reputation — that was just too much to bear. “Falling behind” seems to be a pervasive fear for kids and their families. But in a world where everything is different, it seems natural to focus first on survival, and then reflect on the things we thought mattered so much. This student’s email, for me, articulated the fears of so many and illuminated the ways educators and parents can alleviate those fears. Rather than fixating on what we don’t have access to, schools and families should evaluate what we can do.

REMOTE LEARNING SHOWS DISPARITY IN PA. SCHOOLS
Centre Daily Times Letter by Sandra Miller, Bethlehem. The author is a member of the PA Schools Work campaign. April 24, 2020
Your recent article from April 9th (“A quarter of BEA students don’t have internet access. Here’s how remote learning will take place”) highlights the differences school districts in Pennsylvania regarding their ability to transition to online instruction. The Bald Eagle Area School District is not unlike districts across the state trying to find the necessary resources to ensure students in their districts are able to learn while schools are closed. An unexpected event like the COVID-19 pandemic can reveal the fault lines in society – in Pennsylvania, one of those major fault lines is the gap between school districts that are the “haves” and school districts that are the “have-nots.”
This disparity is a symptom of Pennsylvania’s inadequate school funding system. And the disparities exist all the time. They are seen in differences in course options, class sizes, number of critical support staff like counselors and librarians, and availability of classroom resources. This is exactly the kind of inequities that the PA Schools Work coalition has been working to rectify for years. Where a child lives has entirely too much bearing on what kind of public education they get. Once Pennsylvania emerges from the current crisis, we must make sure that all students have the resources they need to achieve, no matter where they live. As districts face even more financial uncertainty, this will mean more assistance from the federal government, but it also means a commitment from state government that no district will see cuts in funding next school year.
  
SVRCS agrees to new five-year charter with KCSD
KC vote scheduled for May 14
Lock Haven Express by CHRIS MORELLI CMORELLI@LOCKHAVEN.COM APR 24, 2020
LOGANTON — Schools might be closed, but progress has been made between Sugar Valley Rural Charter School and the Keystone Central School District. Earlier this week, the charter school’s board of trustees unanimously agreed to a new five-year charter with KCSD. The Keystone Central board is expected to approve it at its next voting session, which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 14. Tracie Kennedy, CEO of Sugar Valley Rural Charter School, said that the new five-year charter is significant. “Keystone Central and SVRCS collaborated to amend the charter. Agreements were made on both sides to develop a relationship that will allow parents to continue to have a choice in their child’s education,” Kennedy said. “We felt this was the beginning of a new era for both parties. Now that the SVRCS board of directors has approved the amended charter, Keystone will be voting on the amended charter on May 14.” That May 14 meeting, originally scheduled for 7 p.m. at Bucktail High School, will now be held via Zoom. KCSD had originally scheduled a pair of meetings on Tuesday, April 28 and Thursday, April 30, “for the purpose of reviewing all relevant matters relating to the renewal request from the Sugar Valley Rural Charter School.” Those meetings were canceled after Sugar Valley approved the contract. If the KCSD board also approves the amended charter, it will put an end to several months of back-and-forth between the schools.

Erie Rise parents, others question CEO’s firing
GoErie By Ed Palattella @etnpalattella Posted Apr 23, 2020 at 8:21 PM
Charter school’s board remains mum on reasons for unexpected dismissal of Terry Lang, who had led school nearly 5 years.
The abrupt firing of the CEO of the Erie Rise Leadership Academy Charter School led upset parents and residents to question the school’s board on Thursday night. But their questions elicited little information from the board members during a special meeting held via teleconference due to COVID-19 restrictions. “I was a bit shocked and dismayed about the news about the CEO,” Erie Rise parent Daryl Craig said, referring to the board’s dismissal a week ago of Terry Lang, who had headed Erie Rise since June 2015. Craig said he was concerned that the board let Lang go during the COVID-19 outbreak, when school buildings are closed and schools must teach students through remote learning. “With all the uncertainty,” Craig said, “was it so important that we need to make this change now?” Four other speakers, including another parent, asked similar questions. Another speaker criticized Lang’s work at the school, whose charter the Erie School Board in late 2019 nearly declined to renew due to poor academic performance and other issues. The Erie School District continues to monitor Erie Rise.

Can North Penn High’s student reporters fill a news gap in Montgomery County?
Inquirer by Mike Sielski, Updated: April 23, 2020- 9:00 AM
Eight and a half minutes into the April 6 episode of “North Penn Right Now,” produced and staffed by students at North Penn High School on its broadcast network, NPTV, came the centerpiece of any news show: the big “get.” Senior Erik Jesberger — clad in a blue blazer, crisp white shirt, and orange-and-periwinkle tie, his hair slick and parted — interviewed North Penn schools superintendent Curtis Dietrich about the district’s implementation of distance learning in response to the coronavirus pandemic. That Jesberger was conducting the interview digitally from his bedroom, with a baseball-shaped Phillies poster on the wall behind him, did not seem to faze him. “What can you say to students such as myself?” Jesberger asked Dietrich. “My classroom is my bed, and also my cafeteria is my kitchen. What can you say to students at these times?” “Well,” Dietrich said, “we’re doing our best to present the lessons in a way you can understand, comprehend, and learn. So we ask that you continue to have patience with us.” The exchange — broadcast on NPTV’s YouTube and Facebook Live feeds and on the station’s cable channel, carried on Comcast and Verizon — was more than an administrator’s attempt to get a message out to parents or a courtesy to an ambitious teenager, although, as Jesberger said, “It was cool to have him talk to me and [talk about] what’s going on in these crazy times.” The truth is, NPTV is becoming an unexpectedly important news source in Montgomery County, whose traditional media landscape is changing. The North Penn Reporter, the region’s daily newspaper, has seen its circulation shrink over time, the result of an industrywide struggle of print media to keep its presses running. Earlier this month, in fact, The Inquirer learned that MediaNewsGroup, which owns The Reporter and several other newspapers in the Philadelphia suburbs, was looking to cut staff, according to internal memos.

Derry Area sets virtual graduation for June 10
Trib Live by JOE NAPSHA   | Thursday, April 23, 2020 11:38 p.m.
Derry Area has joined other school districts across the state in abandoning the traditional commencement ceremony for the Class of 2020 for a virtual one. Superintendent Eric Curry told the school board Thursday that “we are fairly confident” the virtual commencement ceremony on June 10 will be held on the last day of school, unless there are some unforeseen changes. Curry said he hopes that sometime over the summer, at a date not yet announced, the school officials will be able to say goodbye to the graduating class “in a personal way.” Derry Area School Director Sean Kemmerer said the district will explore options for the seniors to have the graduation ceremonies they deserve. Derry also is following the guidelines against large gatherings and canceling the high school prom that was planned for May 8.

With Pennsylvania schools closed for the remainder of the 2019-20 academic year due to the coronavirus pandemic, many are wondering what’s the next domino to fall. It appears more and more likely that it’ll be prom. Here’s which Lancaster County high schools have already canceled or postponed the big dance, as of Friday. More announcements are expected in the coming days.


How School Districts Are Outsmarting a Microbe
Schools thrust into turmoil by the coronavirus are slowly finding ways to cope.
New York Times By Chris Berdik April 23, 2020
This article is part of our latest Learning special report, which focuses on the challenges of online education during the coronavirus outbreak.
In some cities, school buses now deliver daily paper packets of schoolwork, along with bagged breakfasts and lunches. In others, schools use PBS’s “Nova” program to help teach science. Elsewhere, teachers hold daily virtual office hours to check on the academic and emotional well-being of students they can no longer meet face to face. Confronting the unprecedented challenge of lengthy school closures because of coronavirus, the nation’s roughly 13,000 public school districts are scrambling to cope. Almost no district was truly ready to plunge into remote learning full time and with no end in sight. There is no one-size-fits-all remedy and no must-have suite of digital learning tools. Leaders have largely had to find their own way, spurring a hodgepodge of local innovations. As the struggle continues, a few overarching lessons learned — about equity, expectations and communication — are now helping schools navigate this crisis on the fly. “Nobody knows the right path forward,” said Robin Lake, director of the Center on Reinventing Public Education, a nonpartisan education research center in Seattle that has compiled an online database of coronavirus response plans provided by scores of districts as a resource for other educators. “We’re all going to have to try things and give each other grace.”

Betsy DeVos Releases Billions More in Coronavirus Education Aid
Education Week By Andrew Ujifusa on April 23, 2020 2:35 PM
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has officially announced that $13.5 billion in emergency coronavirus funding for K-12 schools is now available. 
The billions in additional aid was included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act signed into law by President Donald Trump last month. The money will initially go to states, but at least 90 percent ultimately must be passed along to school districts via the Title I formula designed to help schools with large shares of students from low-income households.  Schools can use this pot of CARES Act money for a variety of purposes to help them deal with the fallout of the virus, which has forced dozens of states to shut down in-person classes for the rest of the school year. For example, educators can use it to provide access to the internet for students struggling to learn remotely, mental health supports, and support for special populations of students such as those who are homeless.  "This national emergency continues to shine a light on the need for all schools to be more agile," DeVos said in a statement. "Now is the time to truly rethink education and to get creative about how we meet each student's unique needs." She added that there are "very few bureaucratic strings" attached to the money.  The department said it intends to process applications for the aid three days after it receives them. States have until July 1 to apply for the funds. 

Teachers and Students Describe a Remote-Learning Life
They talk about how the change to online instruction has affected them.
By The New York Times April 23, 2020
This article is part of our latest Learning special report, which focuses on the challenges of online education during the coronavirus outbreak. We asked teachers and college students about their experiences with the change to online instruction. The Learning Network, a site about teaching and learning with content from The New York Times, asked students in grades K through 12 how they have been coping with remote learning. The following comments have been edited and condensed.
Teachers’ Voices
So much of what we do in classrooms are driven by student responses and reactions. I’d give anything to watch their faces light up, their hands in the air, their smiles and fist pumps when they share a new learning or big idea with me. – Meg Burke, teaches grades 3 through 8, Doylestown, Pa.
Here I am, at 66, within a year of full retirement, having to learn how to use Google Classroom with 35 first graders at various places in their learning. I feel as though I am attempting to drive on a road that I am simultaneously paving while also following a paper map. – Janet Kass, teaches first grade, Bloomingburg, N.Y.

Now Virtual and in Video, Museum Websites Shake Off the Dust
Homebound and feeling the wanderlust? Our critic’s guide to the best online presentations from the world’s leading art palaces and picture galleries.
New York Times By Jason Farago April 23, 2020
In times of adversity, we look to art to give form to chaos. But where do you go when the chaos keeps you from art entirely? It will have to be online. As the coronavirus pandemic stretches into yet another month, keeping arts institutions closed across the globe, museums’ websites are now posting traffic numbers that were once unimaginable. The Musée du Louvre in Paris has reported a tenfold increase in web traffic, from 40,000 to 400,000 visitors per day. Visits to the websites of the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the Courtauld Institute of Art in London are also up by huge multiples. Audiences are seeking out arts material for children — the Metropolitan Museum of Art reports an elevenfold uptick to #MetKids, its youth education initiative. Remember just a decade ago, when the Met raised hackles, within and beyond its walls, for its ambitious digitization initiative, as if it were dangerous to offer more than 400,000 high-resolution, free-to-download images of the collection? No one’s saying that now.


PSBA Board Presidents Panels (Zoom) April 27, 28, 29 and 30 (depending upon the size of your district)
This annual event supports current and aspiring school board leaders through facilitated discussion with colleagues in leadership. Board Presidents Panel is designed to equip new and veteran board presidents and vice presidents as well as superintendents and other school directors who may pursue a leadership position in the future.
Due to current social distancing requirements, this annual program will shift from a series of in-person regional events to a digital platform using Zoom Meetings. Participants of each of the four sessions will meet in small groups using virtual breakout rooms. Experienced facilitators will guide discussions on attendees’ unique challenges, solutions and experiences related to board leadership during the COVID-19 school closures.
This year’s program will be organized to group together leaders from schools of similar enrollment sizes for relevant conversation. Members may register for one or two nights to participate in all of the topics offered. If your district's average enrollment is above 3,500, you are invited to join the sessions on Tuesday, April 28 and/or Thursday, April 30. If your district's average enrollment is below 3,500, opt to join the sessions on Monday, April 27 and/or Wednesday, April 29.
