The Future Of K-12 Education In Berks County
The Pennsylvania General Assembly recently created two commissions focused on basic education: the Basic Education Funding Commission and the Commission on Education and Economic Competitiveness. These groups are evaluating changes to school funding and the services schools provide. Meanwhile, Governor Shapiro has proposed substantial increases in basic education funding and major investments in school repairs. Key issues such as school safety, student mental health and special education remain a priority. Additionally, Pennsylvania Auditor General Tim DeFoor recently released a report focused on reforming funding for virtual charter schools. Each of these initiatives could have a significant impact on our schools. Sherri Smith, the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators and Michelle Reichard-Huff, the Director of Early Childhood and Student Services at the Berks County Intermediate Unit will share their perspectives on how these initiatives could affect Berks County schools and students.
