New State School Code Expands District Autonomy
Harrisburg AP The proposed Pennsylvania state school code would grant districts more independence within limits, require greater citizen participation, and emphasize public access to records and community use of schools. It would remove obsolete requirements, mandate hearings for major actions, allow work study and out of class experiences, and enable flexible compulsory attendance with parental trips. The plan, developed by the Education Department over 12 years, is expected on the governor’s desk by October.

Senate Moves to Cut Oil Depletion Tax Break
The Senate poised to include limits on the oil depletion allowance in a 29.2 billion tax cut after a 47 to 4 vote to repeal the break for major oil firms while preserving it for independents. Hartke proposes taxing foreign profits more by deducting foreign taxes, raising U.S. taxes on multinationals by about 1 billion annually. Bentsen’s compromise would lift U.S. oil taxes by around 1.5 billion yearly as the House already repealed the depletion allowance.
