Issue Position: School Funding

Issue Position

Pennsylvania spends more per pupil that most other states, with sky-high property taxes and unfunded mandates handed down by Harrisburg bureaucrats who don't understand the districts to which they dictate. Tim knows that the biggest crisis facing our schools is a failure to let local school boards do their jobs. He knows that $70 billion in unfunded public pension debt -- most of it for public schools -- is a recipe for disaster. And he understands that we won't get results for our tax dollars until we set the priorities for public education as: Student, Family, Teacher -- and in that order.
