Pittsburgh Public Schools operates 54 schools that serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Only one of those schools is located in the city core, while most are miles from the event. With a total enrollment of around 20,000 students, the decision affects not only students but also caregivers and the students at 136 private, parochial, and charter schools who rely on the district for transportation.

@Dale_Chu We do this all of the time - align on some issues and not on others. The important thing is that we don’t demonize simply because we disagree. Kudos!

Strange bedfellows: the screen-time backlash has bipartisan legs.

Researchers have found that students who shared a classroom with pupils who have emotional and behavioral disabilities had more absences, lower math and reading scores, and were more likely to act out in the classroom or struggle with social skills. 🤨🤨🤨

@NedStanley Agreed! Flex days should not be at the whim of school districts. This wasn’t their intended use. And if it’s unsafe to attend school - MAKE IT SAFE. These kids should come first. Parents shouldn’t have to jeopardize their jobs or lose income because of the event.

@Dyrnwyn @GullyoftheSun Ridiculous. I live in Pgh. Keep your kid home for too long without a doctor’s note? Big trouble. Beg for online due to bullying or safety only to be told no? But apparently education means nothing when it comes to the draft. It’s inconvenient for the adults. 😡

Wait. For so long people fought online learning. Then they limited it - it’s by permission. DISTRICT permission. But keep your own child home due to safety concerns? End up at the judge. Parents now have to stay home. Take off work. What if you can’t do that or don’t have childcare options? Irresponsible and hypocritical.

Pittsburgh Public Schools will be closed for three days, and compel "asynchronous" remote learning, because of the NFL Draft. Since the city will have a lot of visitors this will "ensure students can continue learning safely and effectively." Unreal. publicsource.org/pittsburgh-pub…

Unbelievably sad. @PADeptofEd More money isn’t helping and we need your plan for intervention.

"The latest state test scores show only 12 percent of students at Harrisburg High are proficient in reading. But it gets worse. Only 3 percent are proficient in science, and only 2 percent are proficient in mathematics. Those scores are beyond alarming." buff.ly/TFpvk4E

MYTH #1: “School choice is just a subsidy for rich families.” Reality: The typical school choice family isn’t rich. They’re working-class. They’re middle-class. They’re families who never had options before. In Florida, most scholarship students come from low- and moderate-income households. Nationwide, most choice students switched from public schools—not private. In fact, states like FL, TX, IN, and more prioritize applications based on income. Choice didn’t create their opportunity. It WAS their opportunity. @schoolchoicenow Myth #2 next week.

Myth-Busting March's MYTH #2: “School choice drains money from public schools.” This one surprises people: In many cases, public schools actually keep money when a student leaves. Why? Because scholarships are nearly always less than the total per-student funding. Usually this is because districts keep their share of the funding when a student leaves BUT they don't decrease the over spending by an equal amount. Multiple fiscal studies found choice programs were neutral—or financially positive—for public schools. Less crowding and more resources per student. That’s not draining the system. That’s changing it. buff.ly/UXbNZGJ Myth #3 next week.

Myth-Busting March MYTH #3: “School choice increases segregation.” Let’s be honest: School access has been tied to ZIP code for decades. And ZIP codes are tied to income and/or systemic redlining. School choice breaks that link. Research reviews show choice programs often improve integration—or have no negative effect. Choice doesn’t create inequality. It gives families a way out of it. @Available2All @afcpress @valeriagurr Myth #4 next week.

Yep!!! These programs help students otherwise trapped in struggling schools. They focus on the student rather than the building. They provide financial relief and opportunity for children who desperately need it. Thank you for your support @VoteMartinaPA
PA House Republicans 🇺🇸@PAHouseGOP

Pennsylvania has one of the most impactful education partnerships in the country. The EITC/OSTC programs give businesses the opportunity to redirect a portion of their state tax liability to fund scholarships for students who need it most. Instead of sending money to Harrisburg, companies can invest directly in our students, helping them access better educational opportunities that fit their needs.
