I. Increase state funding to Philadelphia public schools.
2. Request that the state school nurse to student ratio is changed. A ratio of 1 nurse to 1,500 students is unacceptable.
Why is this important?
We want the State of Pennsylvania to increase funding to Philadelphia public schools. Our children are losing academic programs, school nurses, teachers, support staff, teacher's aides, custodians, and bus drivers all due to Governor Tom Corbett's budget cut to public schools. Without state funding our children will lose the opportunity to receive the education they deserve.
