I really don't think they get that. To me, it's no different than the "family" bathroom places have. Hell, I worked for a church owned coffee shop and we had TWO unisex bathrooms. Each had a single toilet and sink with a locking door. It's really not a hard concept to grasp. Unfortunately, the only thing done people seem to be able to grasp are their pearls. 🙄

And then all of the union people crawled away.

Oh yeah I was probably to broad in my statement. Education system of rural PA underwent a major overhaul during that era. I was referring more to centers of black Pennsylvanians and how desegregation caused school districts like York City which were already consolidated to be fractured.

I misspoke. They set the vision, but, yes, the admin does the day-to-day. If they don’t like how the superintendent does it, then remove them. They just removed one.

It’s anywhere that isn’t southeast PA according to this former southeast PA resident. Plus I went to school for geography in Pennsyltucky. It’s totally a legit academic term…

lol this is true. and its sad. i wonder if rich people do this cause they are bored. like i couldnt imagine being rich and so petty.

any was for me i didnt ever think it would be this hard to freaking leave a town. its the lack of transportation that really kills me. and unlike NY i cant walk or take a bus...

honestly and im going to run this by you do you think i should buy a car and then drive to the town i want to, find an empty car lot and just live in the car until i find employment.... im going to try for government housing and im going to look again for that lottery thing they have.

this is messed up to say but when they said nyc was dying due to the pandemic i was sort of happy only because i thought things would get cheaper and i could go there for next to nothing . i was even willing to risk getting covid.....but who knows.

Palmerton “Stand back and stand by”

But nobody in the comments suggested throwing money at anything.

Daily voice is always the most ridiculous. Almost always factual (and updated when needed for accuracy), but the writing always reads like Nana is trying to catch her grandson's attention using buzzwords she learned about on YouTube.

How do you improve parent engagement? And to what level? How do you measure it so it’s equitable to other districts? I sure hope you don’t need funds to do it.

Or you could just make funding equal across districts because making kids do more with less just because you can is cruel to say the least.

Hbg does have its issues, that is true.

Schools and school districts existed in PA prior to 1954. Indeed, if memory serves, there were more than 1,000 districts at one point. Some towns had shared buildings but the "districts" as we know them today were reduced to the current number (more or less), but that did not occur until about 1960. The current DOE setup occurred around 1970. Some of today's districts have more than 1 high school. 3 have none.

It’s all relative. Drive through Bedford County.

“One guy with more money than sense embarrasses a whole town”

FTFY

So instead of focus on the declining graduation rate, the lack of adequate college prep and AP classes, or identifying better ways to partner to provide a path towards alternative education in partnership with the Palmerton school district, this school director does this crap.

Yeah I think it depends on what regions youre comparing. Their starting salary tends to be higher, but places like Baltimore have a lower max, which is why they struggle to retain teachers. DMV area is comparable to Philly and the burbs.

But being better than Maryland doesn't say much since PA teacher salaries aren't much to write home about but definitely not the worst in the country thanks to our unions.

Your example is an Allegheny Institute fantasy, though - Pittsburgh isn’t spending double per student. They are spending lots on a large number of disadvantaged students.

I’m not going to get mad about imaginary numbers. You can’t fairly compare a large school district with lots of special needs/disadvantaged kids vs a rich, white suburban school by just dividing by the number of students. Some students cost vastly more to educate - those are much, much rarer in the suburbs.

Trying to boil it down to a percentage is just one problem with your approach. You’re looking at Pittsburgh’s needs vs rich suburbs and not considering ANY of the structural differences between who those districts serve and what they do.

All in the name of cutting money for education - something we definitely don’t need.

The magic number is whatever it takes to give EVERY student a quality education.
