Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Pennsylvania currently ranks 46th in the country in public education funding. This lack of investment in Pennsylvania's education system forces residents living within the boundaries of the North Penn and Wissahickon school districts to bear the fiscal burden of education funding. This current "borrow and spend" form of funding is unsustainable and must be reformed.

Despite the local funding problem, we are fortunate that our district's public schools are exceptional. Every child deserves this type of quality education. Harrisburg, however, has a history of threatening the strength and future of our public schools. Whether it be the funneling of taxpayers' money to private charter schools or cuts to education funding, the quality and longevity of our children's education can hinge on just one vote.

Liz will fight to reform education funding in a way that removes the fiscal burden levied upon local taxpayers. As an advocate for children her entire life, Liz will continue to ensure that our local public schools remain strong, that our teachers are valued, and that taxpayers' dollars are invested wisely.
