Escalate the fight for public school funding
Our students are in classrooms that are underfunded and overcrowded. Teachers are paying out of pocket and picking up the slack. And public education is suffering.
In the wake of the mid-term elections, PCCY urges you to join the movement working to make sure public schools are fully funded. The Communities United for Our Students’ Future Summit will bring togetherlocal school and community leaders on November 17, 2018 to lead the fight for greater state investment in public education.
The Summit will be held at American Reading Company, 201 South Gulf Road, in King of Prussia.
Join us and:
Rally with local and statewide change makers leading the fight for school funding
Bring home a toolkit to build support and spur action for funding for your schools
The Summit is sponsored by PA Schools Work, of which PCCY is a leading member. We are calling for:
Significant funding increases for K-12 public education including: basic, special, and career and technical education.
Increases in funding that are not reliant upon cuts to other school districts’ current funds.
The use of the state’s fair funding formula as the mechanism to close funding gaps.
School districts keeping local control of education funding decisions.
