The recent announcements of the Blue Ribbon Commission in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia are truly painful. As those of you who have been working to pass school choice know so well, vouchers and an increase to the Educational Improvement Tax Credits (EITC) would have helped the burden felt by families and schools across our region. However, school choice legislation is still before the PA legislature, and we need to channel our energy into ensuring that this legislation passes, thus creating a more just and equitable educational system in our state.The need for major restructuring in our schools is the most vivid example we have to justify school choice with our legislators. For those of you who would like to learn more about school choice, please review the following resources:
