Education
More than HALF of Pennsylvania students cannot read at grade level. TWO THIRDS cannot do math at grade level.
More special programs?
Initiatives such as the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC), Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC), and Lifeline Scholarships only nibble at the edges of the problem, and deal only with funding, not the basic task of educating our kids
In Depth
Education in Pennsylvania is in terrible shape. Appallingly terrible!
More money?
A study by Standard & Poor’s shows that one-third of the best performing schools receive less than the average funding, while the one-third worst receive more than the average funding. So fiddling with funding is not an answer because money is not the problem
More administrators?
The number of administrators has been skyrocketing, yet scores continue to fall. Since 2000, administrators in Pennsylvania schools have increased 40% while enrollment has dropped 7.7% So having too few administrators is clearly not the problem
More regulations?
The existing regulations have brought us to the sad state we see today. And far too many mandates are unfunded, leaving local schools to carry the load. Why would anyone want more regulations?
Ken Krawchuk is not a current member of Congress, so there is no congressional roll-call record to show. State legislative or local records are not yet compiled.
