As a Pennsylvania tax payer, I support our children and their public schools. I also want to keep my property taxes low. It’s because of this that I’m asking the state to ensure BASD gets the state funding it is owed. I want my legislators to fight for and ensure the following:
Basic Education, Special Education and Adequacy Funding: I demand that we get back on the 7 year timeline to fully fund BASD. Currently, it will take more than 11 years until BASD receives the state funding it deserves as recommended by the Basic Education Funding Commission. I'm demanding the $5.4 million that BASD is legally owed this year.
Reducing Cyber Charter Overspending: I demand that a flat $8,000 per student rate for cyber charter tuition be enacted. This would save BASD over $2.5 million next year.
This funding will allow for the quality of the education our children receive to improve without relying on additional tax increases even while the district cancels millions of dollars of programs.
