HB 1612 supports an early retirement incentive for Pennsylvania Public
School teachers. There is no cost to the state government or pension fund
while the savings realized by each individual school district is funneled right
back to that district.
Why is this important?
I am concerned about the lack of funding crippling school districts around the state, especially the large urban school districts. Lack of counselors, libraries closed and locked in the schools along with the lack of full time nurses in every school is disturbing and unfair to the students.
