We went to EVERY SINGLE Blue Ribbon Commission on School Funding Hearing and we LISTENED.
We broke down the testimony into many “buckets” of issues. The main buckets that were identified were: Children’s needs, Teacher Crisis, Fixing the Funding Formula and Truth in Budgeting.
WPEN has a short handout describing the importance of each of these categories, which was delivered to the Commission.
