SB 733 will send approx. $600 million taxpayer dollars to unaccountable private schools and organizations, lessen educational opportunities for all students, and lead to funding cuts and higher property taxes for communities. Act now: ow.ly/WT6J50F5P2n #Advocate4PublicEd
Ten reasons to oppose #sb1
7 -This is progress? A charter school will no longer be allowed to pad its board of directors with family members or pay them a salary. I feel better already. @pacharterchange @EdVotersPA @PASenateGOP @PaSenateDems @LauraLyJohnson

6 -From the annals of Crazytown – A district will have to close its online academy and set up a new cyber charter school – so the district will pay tuition to itself. Huh? @PACharter @pacharterchange @PASenateGOP @PaSenateDems @EdVotersPA @PSEA_GR

5- The proposed State Charter School Commission will have less than 3 months to approve a new $5 million-$10 million charter school. No money down! Easy application! Guaranteed approval! @PASenateGOP @PaSenateDems @pacharterchange @PSEA_GR

4- More @PACharter = more FAILED charter schools. Across the US one out of every three charter schools has gone belly up. Turns out its kinda hard to run a school.

(1/2) Today the Senate Education Committee will consider a package of bills (SB 1 and SB 733) that would amount to the largest transfer of resources out of public schools in history—and one of the worst attacks on public education we have ever seen.
@RepCiresi says we are the the sixth most underfunded district in the state - they need funding relief to finally give their students the education they need.
@GovernorTomWolf my plan would save $375 million while endure charters have the funds they need. Why “today’s student are tomorrow’s leaders. “

Facing a huge structural deficit, Erie's superintendent laid off hundreds of school staff. Our leaders in Harrisburg's solution? "Do it again."
It's time for the General Assembly to stop passing the buck and #FundOurSchoolsPA.

Thanks to Betsy DeVos three charters schools expanding - more funds leaving chronically underfunded school districts and their students with less. @pacharterchange @PPSnews @WBASDSuper @psba @pasbo_org @EdVotersPA

"Communities that invest more in public education eventually reduce levels of income inequality between residents ... various reports predict that economic growth will continue to be uneven because of local differences in educational opportunity."
