Campaign for Increased State Aid to Pennsylvania Schools
Education groups in Harrisburg push for more state funding to ease local tax burdens, with support from PSEA and the State School Directors Association. Proposals seek broader use of funds, flexible state aid to weather unemployment shocks, and possible revisions to real estate taxes. The groups differ over teacher tenure, with the directors seeking firmer grounds for dismissal actions while PSEA defends merit as the sole basis.
