In response to growing concerns from rural school officials and taxpayers regarding Governor Shapiro’s state budget plan, we recently hosted educators, administrators, parents, and policymakers for a community conversation with Department of Education Acting Secretary Carrie Rowe. We discussed the challenges rural districts are facing due to an inequitable funding distribution which limits their ability to recruit personnel, invest in technology, and enhance curriculum to meet student performance standards.
Your insights and suggestions can be very useful as we continue to seek solutions to address disparities in education funding across Pennsylvania’s rural communities. We invite you to be part of the process by submitting your comments below.
