Tell House Members: Act Now on School Choice!

Students and teachers from nearly 50 Pennsylvania Catholic schools are headed to Harrisburg RIGHT NOW  to rally in support of school choice. Click here to join in the chorus of voices by sending a clear message to your legislator in support of school choice.

Your visits, calls and emails last month were instrumental in the passage of Senate Bill 1 in the Senate, and now it is time to encourage the House to act on educational reform.  There are just a few weeks left before the legislature breaks for Christmas, and school choice can be passed before then if House members hear from their constituents, so speak now!

Also, over the past week, we’ve been answering false arguments on our website. In these articles, we prove that school choice DOES help all Pennsylvanians, even those who do not live in failing school districts; school choice DOES help special needs students; and school choice DOES NOT drain public school budgets. Continue to check back at www.pacatholic.org to learn more, or follow us on facebook and twitter.

Pennsylvania cannot wait any longer to reform education so that students can get the best education. Please send a clear message to your representative TODAY and ask your friends and family to do the same!
