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.
