Voice: November 2018
Since his first day in office, Gov. Tom Wolf has made public education his number one priority.
The governor has restored nearly $1 billion in state funding cuts to schools and worked with lawmakers from both parties to enact a fair school funding formula.
He has taken steps to scale back the amount of time students spend on high-stakes tests like the PSSAs. He understands what we know – that less time spent on testing means more time in the classroom teaching and learning.
Gov. Wolf has worked with lawmakers from both parties to put more resources into career and technical education so that our students are prepared for the jobs of tomorrow.
And he has stood up for us and our right to come together and speak out for our students and each other.
I’ve been fortunate to have a front row seat to Tom Wolf’s first term as governor, but PSEA members like you are the ones who really see the direct impact of having a pro-public education governor.
So, I thought I would share a few testimonials from the educators, specialists, and support professionals who believe Gov. Wolf is making the grade on public education.
When you head to the polls on Nov. 6, I hope you will join me in voting for pro-public education candidates up and down the ballot, including Gov. Wolf.
And let your family and friends know about the champions of public education where they live. Find personalized pro-public education ballots at www.schoolhouseballot.com.
