A must-read for Pennsylvanians who care about public education.

"Proponents sell it as an easy win for choice. But when you look closely at how the law is written, it becomes clear that this program is an unregulated gamble that siphons tax dollars out of the public domain while offering the biggest payout to families who need help the least....

My four decades in public education taught me that strong communities are built on strong public schools. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek recently opted her state out of this program, concluding it was not in the best interest of Oregon’s public school children. Shapiro should draw the exact same line for Pennsylvania."

Yesterday, we took the red flags in Trump’s federal school voucher program straight to the Capitol.

Our team spent the day talking with lawmakers, staff, and visitors about what this program would actually mean for Pennsylvania.

We also hand-delivered a coalition letter to Governor Shapiro urging him to reject the program, along with a petition signed by more than 1,000 Pennsylvanians.

Read more about our day at the Capitol and see photos of our red flag display in the Rotunda.

🚩 We found some serious red flags in Trump’s federal school voucher program.

So today, we brought them straight to lawmakers and Governor Shapiro at the Pennsylvania Capitol.

From voucher dollars funding private and religious schools that discriminate against students, to vouchers for families making more than $350,000 a year, Pennsylvanians deserve to know what’s in this program.

The more you look, the more red flags you find.

Public schools field teams made up of students who live within their district boundaries.

Private and parochial schools operate without those same geographic boundaries, allowing them to draw athletes from across townships, counties, state lines, and even internationally.

The playing field is already uneven.

Now, Gov. Shapiro faces a decision about whether Pennsylvania will participate in the new federal private school voucher program which would send additional taxpayer dollars to private schools.

Our public schools shouldn’t be put at an even greater disadvantage.

Read our latest on why this debate isn’t just about what happens in the classroom, but also about what happens on the field.

As students head back to school this fall, Governor Josh Shapiro faces a crucial decision. Before the end of the year he must use his authority to either opt Pennsylvania into a federal private school voucher program or reject it. For the sake of our students, our local communities, and basic fairne...
