Funding Our Schools

​As a homeowner and a public school parent in the district, I understand the burden that property taxes place on our communities. I believe we must fund education at the state level and stop shifting the responsibility to over-taxed homeowners. Our state government continues to shortchange education, relying on local communities to raise property taxes to support their kids’ education. This not only puts an unfair burden on residents, it also leaves some school districts grossly underfunded.

CTE 

Investing in career and technical education is a must for Pennsylvania and our community - these educational resources prepare students for real world jobs and provide and strong applied learning environment for thiose moving on to college- this is a critical investment that I fully support.

 

Higher Education ​

​I am committed to making accessible, affordable, quality higher education a reality in Pennsylvania. We must put more investment into our state colleges and transition certain community colleges to four-year institutions so that more students have the opportunity to pursue a higher degree.
