Press Conference: Fixing the Flaws in PA’s Special
Education Funding System for Charter Schools
According to spreadsheets from the PA Department
of Community and Economic Development, for the 2018-2019 school year Business
Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools (BLOCS) received $27,515,059 in
diverted tax dollars under the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program
(EITC). BLOCS was reportedly the largest recipient of EITC funds. There are no
fiscal or student performance reporting measures required under the program.

State Money to Religious Schools Hinges on Supreme Court
Ruling
Bloomberg News Posted June 29, 2020By Andrew
Kreighbaum
The U.S. Supreme Court could shape the future
of state school choice initiatives, potentially opening public funding to
religious institutions in states offering school vouchers, in a decision as
soon as this week. At stake: a 2018 state supreme court decision that struck
down a tax credit scholarship program, finding it violated a
provision of the state constitution because the program allowed for the
indirect use of public money at religious schools. Three Montana families sued
in the case, Kendra Espinoza, et al. vs. Montana Department of Revenue,
et al., U.S., 18 1195, and want the Supreme Court to restore the program. Supporters
say a win on vouchers would add momentum to expand school choice in other
states. Advocates of public education, including teacher unionists, say
scrapping the restrictions on religious schools would siphon off more money
from schools already struggling with the coronavirus toll on the nation’s
economy. “We haven’t even gotten back to 2008-2009 funding levels for public
schools,” said David Strom, general counsel at the American Federation of
Teachers. “So it would be a big concern because of the limitation on resources
available to public school students.”
How flat funding schools is actually a cut
PCCY June 26, 2020
As districts in the region draw up their
tentative plans to reopen schools in September, the feasibility of maintaining
social distancing and staggered class scheduling (to limit the number of
students at any one time) remains largely unknown. But even if they are deemed
safe, measures to protect students and staff from COVID-19 will surely be
costly, leaving districts with the highest poverty rates and students with the
greatest needs way behind the curve. Districts like York,
Morrisville, Norristown, Upper Darby, Pottstown, William Penn, Philadelphia,
and Bensalem were already years into a crisis due to chronic underfunding by
the state, strapped to the losing end of the widest school funding disparity in
the nation. When Pennsylvania lawmakers passed the short-term budget in May, they
averted what educators, parents, and advocates feared would be sweeping
pandemic-related cuts, creating a doomsday scenario for public education. The
budget flat funded schools, ensuring there would be no cuts in state funding
levels this year. But flat funding schools is ultimately a cut. In fact, flat
funding would have meant a cut for districts even without the pandemic.
Schools turn to physicians, nurses, hospitals to navigate
reopening
Johnstown Tribune Democrat By Joshua Byers jbyers@tribdem.com Jun 27,
2020
Central Cambria school nurse Jackie Springer
said it’s important to have medical professionals helping develop response
plans for the COVID-19 pandemic. Springer is co-lead on the pandemic response
team at Central Cambria in Ebensburg. She thinks the district has an advantage
in developing a reopening plan with four health-care workers involved. “Together
we’ve just been navigating these waters,” Springer said. On the school board
there’s Dr. Thomas Woods who teaches in the physician assistant department at
St. Francis University, retired nurse Patricia Albaugh and physician assistant
Nate Martin. Additionally, the school physician, Scott Magley, has been and
will continue to review the plan as it develops. “Collaboratively, we have a
lot of great minds that can bring a lot to the table,” Springer said. Schools
can consult with several sources while planning for reopening, including Gov.
Tom Wolf’s office, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), the Pennsylvania School Reopening Task Force, and the American
Association of School Administrators. Local districts have also turned to their
school doctors and nurses. The input at Central Cambria has allowed for easier
navigation of the ever-changing coronavirus landscape. “We’re all working as a
team to stay up to date on everything,” Springer said. “As the coronavirus ebbs
and flows in our area, we must be flexible and ride the wave. These truly are
uncharted waters.”
Most Philly teachers say they want students physically
back in class every other week
Inquirer by Kristen A. Graham, Updated: June
29, 2020- 6:00 PM
When Philadelphia schools reopen, students
should only physically attend on staggered weeks, most city teachers said in a
new survey, and the School District needs to hire hundreds more cleaners to
adequately scrub and sanitize buildings during the coronavirus pandemic. One-third
of the 6,000 teachers, counselors, nurses, and other education professionals
who responded to the survey by the
Philadelphia Federation of Teachers said
public schools should remain fully remote when classes begin in September. But
more than half said a hybrid in-person and remote model is likely the best way
to balance education with health and safety. If the hybrid model is
implemented, about 53% of those surveyed favored a staggered-weeks scenario,
with students in school buildings one week and learning remotely the next, and
groups of students alternating. An alternative of staggering by a smaller
number of days drew more concerns.
Philly teachers prefer hybrid reopening model to full-time
online or in school
Based on PFT survey, union suggests a
staggered schedule in which students would attend on alternate weeks.
The notebook by Dale
Mezzacappa June 29 — 3:49 pm, 2020
This story has been updated.
A majority of Philadelphia teachers
responding to a union survey say
that they prefer a hybrid school opening scenario ー partially
online and partially in person ー with most
indicating that they favor a week-on, week-off schedule. However, it was
unclear exactly what was meant by “week on, week off.” It was described as “one
week on, one week virtual, with groups of students alternating.” That would
mean, presumably, that teachers would be in school every day, teaching half the
students one week and the other half the next week. But only 15% of the
respondents showed any preference for full-time, in-school teaching with social
distancing in place. Despite the lack of clarity on what a staggered week model
would look like, the PFT recommended that some version of this be adopted in
the conclusion to the survey, which is the third one it has taken of its
membership since the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of schools. “Given
the percentages of support for a staggered weeks model compared to the others,
and given the overall preference for a hybrid model of returning to schools, we
believe that some form of the staggered weeks model is likely best suited for
the School District of Philadelphia,” the survey notes in the conclusion.
Wilkes-Barre Area students will have choice between
in-person or remote learning
Also: High school grad dates set, budget
passed with no tax hike
Times Leader By Mark Guydish mguydish@timesleader.com June
30, 2020
WILKES-BARRE — Wilkes-Barre Area School District
students will have a choice between learning from home and learning in school
when classes resume. At Monday night’s board meeting Superintendent Brian
Costello gave a broad outline of the plan for when students return, which will
be finalized in the next several weeks. That news came the same night the
district passed a final budget with no tax increase. With enough Chromebook
computers available for every student, the district plans to offer a hybrid
program in which students who want to attend in person would do so while those
who wanted virtual sessions could remain home, Costello explained. Attendance
would be required in either case, and students who would be in a specific class
in person at a specific time would have to sit in via computer at the same
time. Costello also announced plans to hold graduations for all three high
schools at 5 p.m. in the stadium, with social distancing, on July 20, 22 and
24. Budget passed: Wilkes-Barre Area School Board passed a final budget
Tuesday night with no tax increase, sticking to the preliminary final budget
passed last month that keeps property taxes at 18.4332 mills. A mill is a $1
tax for every $1,000 of assessed property value.
SCASD Plans for In-Person Classes, Expanded Virtual
Option in the Fall
StateCollege.com by Geoff Rushton on
June 29, 2020 3:51 PM
State College Area School District is planning to offer all students the option of attending class in-person or enrolling in its Virtual Academy cyber option this fall, Superintendent Bob O'Donnell wrote in a message to district families on Friday. The district has developed a draft a COVID-19 health and safety plan as mandated by the Department of Education, which requires plans to follow health department and Centers for Disease Control guidelines and must be approved by the school board before schools reopen. Health and safety, educational model and operations committees have been working on the SCASD plan with guidance from health professionals. Feedback is being accepted through the end of the day on Tuesday and the school board is expected to vote on a final plan on July 6. "We are planning to provide all students with the opportunity to attend school in a safe manner through our adherence to the district’s Health and Safety Plan," O'Donnell wrote. That will include social distancing of six feet and requiring all students, faculty and staff to wear masks, which O'Donnell said "are critical to the effectiveness of our contract tracing." Elementary students will be provided daily, full-day in-school learning. Secondary students, however, will be provided full-day in-school learning every other day, "along with asynchronous experiences when not in school," O'Donnell wrote. Students with specific learning needs will have the opportunity to be in school every day. The district also will develop plans for each student with complex special needs on case-by-case basis. For buses, guidelines include scheduled cleaning and disinfection between routes, providing drivers with masks and gloves, hand sanitizers on all buses and signage and reminders about masking and distancing.

N.J. schools will reopen with masks, social distancing
and sweeping new rules under just-released plan
By Kelly Heyboer | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com and Matt
Arco | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Updated Jun
27, 2020; Posted Jun 26, 2020
New Jersey’s 2,500 public schools will open their doors for the
2020-2021 school year, but classes will be unlike anything
students and teachers have ever experienced before, state officials announced
Friday. Students will stay six feet apart in classrooms and on buses, lunch
times will be staggered and teachers will be required to wear masks, according
to sweeping new guidelines released by the state Department of Education. Students
will also be “strongly encouraged” to wear face coverings all day and will be
required to wear them when they can’t maintain social distancing at school. The
new rules are part of a long-awaited “The Road Back: Restart
and Recovery Plan for Education” report
compiled by state education officials that will serve as a blueprint as
schools prepare for the return of the state’s 1.4 million students while the
coronavirus pandemic continues. State officials said they do not have a
one-size-fits-all plan for reopening, so each of New Jersey’s 577 public school
districts will have to weigh its options and come up with its own proposal that
meets or exceeds the minimum guidelines. That could mean big changes to school
schedules and start times.
State College School Board Approves Budget with No Real
Estate Tax Increase
StateCollege.com by Geoff Rushton on June 30,
2020 4:00 AM
The State College Area School Board on Monday
approved a final 2020-21 budget that includes no real estate tax increase. Marking
the first time in 13 years the district has not increased taxes, the property
tax rate will remain at 46.0875 mills. For the average homestead
residential property with an assessed value of $81,513, taxes for the year will
be $3,757. Prior to COVID-19, the district was planning a 2 percent tax hike,
but for the past three months has redeveloped the budget to have no increase
because of the economic uncertainty resulting from the pandemic.
Greensburg Salem keeps taxes flat, cuts librarians and
band teacher
Trib Live by JACOB TIERNEY | Monday, June
29, 2020 9:30 p.m.
The Greensburg Salem School District will
keep property taxes flat and make several controversial cuts to library and
band programs in its 2020-21 budget. The school board approved the tax rate and
the $46.2 million budget in two 6-3 votes Monday. District leaders said the
cuts were necessary to compensate for an expected 3% revenue drop caused by the
economic toll of the coronavirus pandemic. The real estate tax rate will remain
at 89.72 mills, costing the average district property owner about $1,525 a
year. The board voted to eliminate the middle school and elementary school
librarian positions, the elementary school band teacher, tech ed teacher and
community liaison. All of those positions were eliminated through attrition.
One teacher will be furloughed but that position will be filled by one of the
librarians. An earlier version of the
budget called for furloughing two teachers, but one of those positions was
preserved in the final version. Several members of the public spoke during the
board’s virtual meeting Monday to ask leaders to consider raising taxes by one
mill — about $17 for the average property owner — to avoid the cuts.
Hempfield school board approves 2020-21 budget with no
tax hike
Trib Live by MEGAN TOMASIC | Monday, June
29, 2020 7:13 p.m.
Hempfield school board members voted
unanimously last week to pass the 2020-21 budget that does not raise property
taxes. The $97.3 million budget
passed 9-0, holding property taxes at 83.46 mills. This is the second year
board members have not raised taxes following five years of gradual increases. Originally
set at $97.67 million, Business
Manager Wayne Wismar reduced budget expenditures by more than $497,900 through
attrition, replacing five retiring employees with others at “more entry level
rates,” eliminating a position, approving a request for leave and not replacing
a support position. Superintendent Tammy Wolicki in May sent a letter to
parents stating the budget did not include a property tax increase, adding, “We
recognize the hardship that the pandemic has created for our community and have
worked to reduce costs without impacting the quality of our programming by
attritioning several staff positions through the retirement process.”
Garnet Valley's school tax increase is lowest in 20 years
Delco Times By Susan L. Serbin Times
Correspondent June 29, 2020
CONCORD — The Garnet Valley School Board
closed out the 2019-2020 school year with two June meetings which included
passage of the 2020-2021 budget. Between the proposed final budget in May and
the June document, the property tax increase was shaved .6 percent. The final
general fund budget totaled $112,804,324, an increase of $110,081 (0.10
percent) in expenditures over the current year. The final budget required a
property tax millage rate of 33.4028 (Bethel: 33.7842) mills, an increase of
1.00 percent over the current year. This represents the lowest district real
estate tax increase in over 20 years, and is 1.60 percent below the district’s Act
I index. Eighty percent of the district's revenue is funded by commercial and
residential taxes
“Parker said that he didn't think it was a "tax
conversation." Rather, he said that the approach should not be to fight
one another for what is in the "proverbial bucket," but rather to
change the dynamic "of the construct" as to how urban schools receive
funding overall.”
Allentown School Board adopts budget with 4% tax hike on
property owners
WFMZ by Stephen Althouse Jun 29,
2020
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - The Allentown School
District Board of Directors, during a special meeting Monday night, adopted a final
2020-21 budget that includes a 4% tax increase on property owners. Voting for
the $350.9 million spending plan and 4% tax hike were Charles Thiel, Audrey
Mathison, Sara Brace, Nicholas Miller and Nancy Wilt. Voting against the budget
and the 4% tax increase were Phoebe Harris, Lisa Conover, Linda Vega and Cheryl
Johnson-Watts. Vega offered an amendment for a budget that would have lowered
the tax increase from 4% to 2.5%. It was seconded by Harris. The amendment was
rejected by a 4-5 vote. Vega offered another amendment for a budget that would
have lowered the tax increase to 3%. That was also rejected. Harris said that
anyone voting for the tax hike "had no empathy" with people
struggling financially. "Shame on you," she said. "Stop putting
the bill on the taxpayers and start looking at other resources," Conover
said. The 4% figure is the highest amount permitted under the Act 1 Index
allowed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education without a voter referendum.
The district was ineligible to increase taxes beyond that amount, as it failed
to qualify for state DOE exceptions for higher amounts.
Sharpsville school budget raises taxes
Sharon Herald By DAVID L. DYE Herald Staff
Writer June 29, 2020
SHARPSVILLE — Property taxes are going up
under the new budget for the Sharpsville Area School District. The budget for
the 2020-21 school year calls for expenditures of $18,631,273, a 1.3 percent increase
from last school year’s budget, Senior Business Manager Jaime Roberts said. Under
the budget, property taxes were raised by 1.5 mills to 82 mills, a 1. percent increase.
For the owner of a property with the district assessed average of $17,250,
Roberts said the millage increase would be about $30 per year. The school board
approved the budget at its June 17 meeting in a 6-3 vote. Board members
Nicholas Hanahan, Janice Raykie and Joseph Toth casted the dissenting votes,
Roberts said. The school district was able to generate some savings from the
school closures due to COVID-19, although other cuts included furloughing a
teacher and reducing another teacher to 50 percent. However, Superintendent
John Vannoy said there were still expenses that the school district could not change.
“Cyber-charter would be something that we have no control over,” Vannoy
said. Another expense outside the school district’s control is pension
contributions to the Public School Employees’ Retirement System, which
increased from 34.29 percent of salaries to 34.51 percent in 2020-21. This will
cost the school district about $2,580,791, Roberts said.
Philly’s new student-led independent newspaper aims to
keep District accountable
In the future, students hope to create
larger, public discussions about educational inequity through forums and
panels.
Commentary by Lola
Milder June 29 — 10:23 am, 2020
Students are constantly asking permission. In
May, the launch of The
Bullhorn, Philly’s first independent student
newspaper, created one space where they don’t need to. The idea arose
last fall as a proposal in a weekly meeting of Masterman High School’s chapter
of the Philadelphia Student Union, a
youth-centered group that focuses on organizing and leadership. Besides the
project’s function as a newspaper, it gained excitement as a potential platform
for unifying Philly students in future endeavors. Despite all that the 200,000-plus
students in the Philadelphia School District and charters share, most students
are limited to the activities and social media circles within their school.
Little connection exists among schools, especially between neighborhood schools
and magnet schools. By email and phone, The Bullhorn’s inaugural
members reached out to English teachers and principals throughout the city,
looking for interested students, often members of school newspapers and arts
programs. Today, 15 schools are represented among The Bullhorn’s
staff, and the students have organized into four teams: reporting, design,
outreach, and editing. Unsurprisingly, much of what draws in students
is The Bullhorn’s independence. The website designers, the social
media managers, the artists, the reporters, the press team, the editors –
they’re all students. It’s liberating.
Remote School Is a Nightmare. Few in Power Care.
Government should treat the need to reopen
schools as an emergency.
New York Times By Michelle Goldberg Opinion Columnist June 29,
2020, 7:46 p.m. ET
Scott Stringer, the comptroller of New York
City, has sons who are 7 and 8 years old. Over the last three months, like many
parents, he’s tried to navigate what schools are optimistically calling “remote
learning” while he and his wife both worked from home. It’s been, he told me,
“one of the most challenging things I ever had to do in my life.” So when he
hears from parents desperate to understand what’s happening with schools in
September, he empathizes. As in many other cities, if New York public schools
reopen, students will likely be in the classroom only part-time. But no one
knows if that means that students will attend on alternate days, alternate
weeks or — Stringer’s preference — in half-day shifts. “Parents have no more
information today about what schools will look like in the fall than they did
last March,” he wrote in a letter to
Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City schools chancellor, Richard
Carranza, last week. With expanded unemployment benefits set to expire at the
end of July, many parents will have no choice but to return to work by
September. Even for parents who can work from home, home schooling is often a
crushing burden that’s destroying careers, mental health and
family relationships. And online school has had dismal results, especially
for poor, black and Hispanic students.
