"The state Senate remains in Republican hands, and GOP leaders there have indicated they won’t hesitate to block proposals they disagree with."

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Landmark Pa. school funding case decided: The state’s system is unconstitutional by Hashslingingslashar
I’m saying fund them equitably for the services they have to provide. How much of the per pupil funding does to debt service? Building maintenance? Special services? How much actually reaches the classroom/student and not legacy costs?
You keep saying “parent engagement” but are not offering one measurable metric besides what some teacher friend told you? That’s not policy, that’s platitudes. There are real, tangible things that can be targeted with increased funding. Money cannot fix everything, but it’s a start to just get them on a level playing field. You don’t even want to do that. I don’t even know what you want other than not adequately find schools for “reasons”. If there was an actual, successful way to increase parent engagement, you don’t think schools would have done that by now? Seriously? Equitable funding is an evidence-based lever they can pull— hence the court case.

Connecting either to Tyrone or Lewistown would be great. Though the Amtrak service is already pretty thin. It would be tough to get the money to do this.

That's an indigenous word from the Lenni Lenape people. It means "stream that forks".

But it would suck majorly for people that want to get to Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or anywhere south.

My point is doing more of the same just with more money probably isn’t going to get better results.
There are broken districts. There is a state intervention program to deal with that, but it doesn’t do a very good job. Like Act 47 for municipalities, many that go in never come back out.

Hey now. As a resident of Northern Allegheny County, we reject the spillover from our borders in every direction. My local Wal-Mart gets raided regularly from the degens from upcountry (Butler County). We hate that shit as much as anyone and I will fight until my last breath to keep Pennsyltucky out of the Greater Pittsburgh area.
