The new school year has started and students in the Lehigh Valley have headed back to school, but an extended battle over school choice has left lawmakers months behind on finishing the state education budget.
Allentown and Bethlehem Area school districts are just two out of the 100 poorest districts in the state still waiting for Level Up funding, supplemental money that goes to districts with the fewest resources. They are the only ones in the Lehigh Valley that qualify for the Level Up program.

BASD Needs Level Up Funding

Dear BASD Aligned Legislators

As a taxpayer, voter and most importantly, a parent with a child in the Bethlehem Area School District, I would like to make sure that BASD receives Level Up funding. This over $1 million dollars in funding would make a significant impact in our administration's ability to educate our students and prevent an unnecessary increase in school taxes.

Sincerely,
a concerned parent
