Every school in America has kitty litter because it's used to clean up spills.

The Auditor General came in a few years ago to clean house. People were fired, some had charges pursued against them, and in ‘22 the AG declared that the audit was finished.
So they got rid of a lot of the obvious crooks, but they didn’t do anything about the incompetence that is rampant in that district. Speaking as someone who contracts services to the district, it’s still a mess. They went from being barely concealed crooks to being obsessed with cost cutting and savings, but did nothing to address the actual educational, security, or behavioral problems that are running wild in the district.

I don't think they actually literally think it's real, I just think it's an excuse to oppress people they hate.
Same thing happened with the Satanic Panic in the 1980s; groundbreaking research in the 1970s on child sex abuse found that the perpetrators, contrary to popular opinion, were pillars of society - church officials, business owners, suburban football coaches. The Satanic Panic was a backlash against that and an excuse to victimize marginalized people.

I don't know about that specific case but kitty litter is in every school in the country because it's useful for bodily fluid spills. Dump the litter on the offending fluid, sweep it up.

Reply to Does Pennsylvania DMV a require your social security number just to make an appt. For behind the wheel test? by Admirable_Baker_1492
You need a ss number or valid immigration number to obtain a license or learner's permit. It would presumably be obtained well before a road test?

I hate when people complain about their super-local issues on a state-related sub. Contact your local government. Where I live, warehouse development is a good thing. We've got loads of open land, and it's been good for the local economy.

Why aren’t the parents send their kids to the public schools then? I am a coatesville resident of 5 years and every child in my neighborhood goes to Collegium. Would like to understand how my analysis is a stretch and how Coatesville is the unfair exception…

Coatesville has some funding issues due to Charter schools like you say, but its a stretch to say its one of the worst in the state. Coatesville's problems have always been overstated both in the local press and Chester County residents for decades. Keep in mind Chester County is the most affluent real estate tax base in PA, so Coatesville is often unfairly compared against those districts. Hopefully that changes with this ruling.

Why does no one ever think of the shareholders? I agree we need people to build up and not out. I also think laws should reflect how many hollowed out properties are in an area. Can't build on farmland as long as strip malls and factories are empty

My cousin's roommate's brother said it was true! How much more concrete evidence do you need than that?!

I would think that if they are remodeling, they’re probably required to have a handicap-accessible bathroom anyway, no? In most public places, those tend to be unisex. WTF is wrong with these people?

I guess my question is if the current model is “unconstitutional” what is a “constitutional” model? And does this actually improve children’s education or is this simply more political maneuvering?
