Stacy Garrity stands for "school choice", where *schools* pick the student. Also supports charters & vouchers. Local #publicschools are the pathways to opportunity for ALL kids of PA. Not just the ones whose parents can afford it. Educate ALL, not some. #VoteShapiro #SupportPubEd @governor.pa.gov
Stacy Garrity can NOT be trusted. She wants 100’s more data centers across Pennsylvania. She believes rural PA communities are the perfect place to put data centers & even said that “we could be doing so much more in that space”

[In non-Elon Musk news, but still important to know]:
SCOTUS agreed to hear this Oklahoma case for the country's first religious charter school, which would have public taxpayer dollars directly fund a religious school.

It's not about taking the form of #education that works for your kid. It's about leveling the playing field for ALL students and funding, as well as bringing transparency to how YOUR tax dollars are being spent. #SupportPubEd #PublicEducation #FairFunding

It's easier to learn when you are not hungry. #PublicEducation #SupportPubEd #FreeAndReduvedLunchProgram #FeedTheKids
Thank you for this @ariannaprothero.bsky.social As a former principal, I remember the days for forms for lunch & how hard it was to get them for complicated reasons. Too many kids went hungry who did not have to.
It would take an act of Congress to eliminate the community eligibility provision, but it could be scaled back. Details on how that would affect kids: www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Here in #PA, we have an almost 2 year old ruling that our constitutionally required schools are unconstitutionally funded. Close to 90% of PA kids attend these schools. #supportPubEd #PublicSchools
Trump says McMahon will expand 'school choice' (adspeak for vouchers) across the USA but voters in multiple red states -- including some of the deepest red counties -- have roundly rejected vouchers.
