Sign the Letter!
We, the undersigned, stand firmly against school voucher programs and urge our elected officials to prioritize public education funding.
Vouchers divert resources away from public schools, further straining a system already suffering from chronic underfunding.
Governor Shapiro’s proposed $1.1 billion increased investment in public schools is a strong path forward that will:
- Close the funding gap and ensure fairer resources for all schools.
- Create a level playing field, providing quality education for every student regardless of background.
- Invest in critical areas like special education, school infrastructure, and attracting qualified teachers.
Public schools are the cornerstone of a strong democracy. We urge you to:
Reject school voucher schemes.
Support HB2370, which allocates critical funding to Pennsylvania’s public school system.
Invest in our public schools, the foundation for a brighter future for all Pennsylvania children.
