Please vote no to HB 530 and cuts to charter & cyber charter schools

Dear Senator, State Legislator, and Governor,

 

I am aware of the efforts in Harrisburg by my elected state legislators, House Representatives, and Senators to undermine the support for PA public-charter schools and to cut funding to the charter-education model that serves individual Pennsylvanians who cannot thrive or succeed in their local school district. Charter students are public-school students, too, and their education and successes are just as important as their district counterparts.

 

Please vote NO for the School Code/HB 530.  Also say no to unnecessary cuts to charter & cyber charter schools. Do not use a procedural vote to cut charter & cyber charter school funding.

 

I am asking that you please give your support to equality and fairness in the allocation of public-school state funding and, in doing so, provide the freedom of educational choice to all Pennsylvania parents and students.

 

Creating legislation against charter schools makes PA’s educational communities feel like second-class citizens when they do not deserve to be treated or served as such. Please do not cast a vote that will further distance or delay our state’s need for the school choice and individual-student accommodations provided by PA charter schools.

 

Please update me on how you plan to support Pennsylvania charter and cyber-charter schools so that my family and I can feel confident about the future of school choice. I look forward to your response.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Patric L. Parris
