“There’s no excuse for it,” @artsteinberg-pft.bsky.social said. “In Philadelphia alone, they had to borrow money that’s going to cost them $30 million in interest, which could be put to a lot better uses... and that pattern was repeated throughout the state.” whyy.org/articles/pen...

We're grateful to @pahousedems.com @pasenate.com for holding the line on public education funding. Governor Shapiro’s education priorities are largely intact, with badly needed increases approved for historically underfunded districts like ours. pft.org/press/pft-pr... #PhlEd #PAbudget

From @senvincenthughes.bsky.social: Fixing Pennsylvania’s broken school funding system is one of the legislature’s most important responsibilities. I’m proud Democrats remain committed to fighting for that funding. www.senatorhughes.com/senator-vinc...

PFT members at John Marshall Elementary also collected food to send home with students whose families rely on SNAP. Philly educators dig deep for their students always - especially when they're being harmed by political games in Washington and Harrisburg! ❤️💪🏿 #PhlEd #PFTstrong
