Governor Corbett cut $1 Billion in support for public education 2 years ago, and it hasn't been restored. Class sizes have been increasing, schools are losing support staff like librarians, music and arts and counselors. Now he is proposing to give out money in tax breaks - money that could be going to schools! Budgets are about priorities and we need to invest in our schools.

SCR 23, by Sen. Conrad Appel (R – Jefferson Parish) if adopted, will formally impose a funding cut in the Gifted and Talented program by reducing the funding allocated through the state's minimum foundation program or MFP. This proposed re-configuring of designated funding would seriously affect the services received by the students in the Gifted and Talented program.

School continues to be getting pushed earlier and earlier

My son going to UC San diego and Due to cut of founding he lost lots of classes

The Minnesota Prosperity Act (Senate File 723) is a bipartisan bill that would provide qualified, undocumented youth with state financial aid and in-state tuition for higher education. If we want to close the opportunity gap that threatens our state and move toward a prosperous future for all of us, we need the Minnesota Prosperity Act now.

Our middle schools and programs across the country are in need of help. Please support this bill which will provide grants to States to ensure that all students in the middle grades are taught an academically rigorous curriculum with effective supports so that students complete the middle grades prepared for success in secondary school and postsecondary endeavors, to improve State and district policies and programs relating to the academic achievement of students in the middle grades, and to develop and implement effective middle grades models for struggling students.

Our school budget is cutting important services like Social Workers. This will have a negative impact on our education, self esteem and potential success. Reverse these cuts NOW!

PA students can't afford larger class sizes, fewer supports. Districts all across the Commonwealth are grappling with layoffs, program cuts, and fewer resources. Students are watching, and waiting for us to do our part.

Like many school districts in Pennsylvania, the Allentown School District has faced budget deficits for the last three years. The State of Pennsylvania cut revenue to the District by almost ten million dollars in 2011 with a loss of over 200 positions. They are seeking to cut an additional 144 positions from the District, with the elimination or curtailment of full day kindergarten, art, physical education and library at the elementary level and related arts at the middle school level. High School core subject areas will also lose teachers, along with English as a Second Language and Special Education. All of these cuts will cause class sizes to soar and will not allow students the same opportunities as surrounding districts. All students across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania deserve better. Sign this petition to ask the Allentown School Board not to cut teachers and programs that are beneficial to the students of Allentown.

YES

This reform will encourage everyone (students, parents, and teachers) in the educational process to meet their potential and reward those who are doing their job. We need to reward those who are working hard to achieve a year or more growth.
