We the People Wednesdays Action for July 9, 2025

Governor Shapiro's education budget proposal represents a historic investment in our children's education, helping to reach the goal of ensuring every student has access to quality learning resources regardless of zip code.

It includes adequacy funding, Basic Education Funding (BEF), Special Education Funding (SEF), and cyber charter reform.  Last year lawmakers made unprecedented strides in fixing Pennsylvania's school funding system, and we must continue this momentum to “Finish the Job.”

Say NO to private school voucher programs that divert critically needed funding away from our public schools, which are already facing a $4 billion adequacy gap affecting 70% of Pennsylvania students.

ACTION:

Write to PA House and Senate Leaders Bradford and Pittman. Sample text:

Please support Gov. Shapiro’s full public school budget proposal, including adequacy funding and cyber charter reform.  And oppose private vouchers that divert funding away from public schools.

Be sure to include your name and zip code.
