Will #pabudget pass once again without charter funding reform?

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: https://t.co/OfVKQPdcqd #Advocate4PublicEd

10 reasons to oppose #SB1 10- Public funds should not be spent on schools who pick and chose their students.

10 reasons to oppose #SB1 9 - SB1 funding for private and religious schools will grow to $1 billion in 5 years and $3 billion in 10 years.

10 reasons to oppose #sb1 8- Today a school district can give a poor performing charter school another year to show progress, and agree to close voluntarily if it fails. Under SB1 this second chance goes away.

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

10 reasons to oppose #SB1 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

10 reasons to oppose #sb1 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

10 reasons to oppose #SB1 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. @pacharterchange @pa_charter @carolburris @PASenateGOP @PaSenateDems @EdVotersPA @PSBA

10 reasons to oppose #SB1 3- More failing cyber charters? SB1 State Charter Commission can approve new cyber charter schools. #skyrocketingpropertytaxes @pacharterchange @PASenateGOP @PaSenateDems @EdVotersPA @HofiusHallTT @PottstownNews @maddiehanna @ByJohnLMicek

10 reasons to oppose #SB1 - 2- Seven unelected people in Harrisburg with no ties to your community will have the power to open a @PACharter school in your neighborhood that YOU will pay for. #skyrocketingpropertytaxes @EdVotersPA @pacharterchange @SenWilliamsPA @SenatorHughes

10 reasons to oppose #SB1 1 - It offers an aggressive increase in funding for private and religious schools and a massive expansion of @pacharter and cyber charter schools, whether local communities want them or not. @PaSenateDems @PASenateGOP https://t.co/8Qbrh0V5DL

(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. “

⁦@pottstownschool⁩ ord prez opens event with ⁦@GovernorTomWolf⁩ to reform ⁦@PACharter⁩

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. 🎧Listen and subscribe➡️ https://t.co/m49ZDqlID2

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 https://t.co/ZwkH5ouG6p

"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." https://t.co/i5QmuUQjLe
