Senate Bill 1
School Choice Legislation

 

The time to act is now!!! A co-sponsorship memo regarding Senate Bill 1 (School Choice legislation) was circulated to all Senators. Senators Jeffery E. Piccola (R-Dauphin) and Anthony H. Williams (D-Philadelphia) are seeking co-sponsors for SB 1. Please visit, call, write or fax your Senator immediately and ask them to consider co-sponsoring SB 1.

Senate Bill 1:

  • Includes scholarships for both public-to-public and public-to-private school choice.

  • Provides scholarships for low income students, so they can attend the school of their choice.

  • Includes a phased in three year approach that is fiscally responsible.

  • Allows private and Catholic schools to keep their identities.

  • Includes an EITC funding increase bringing the program to $100 million.

Please visit www.reachaheadpa.org to learn about Senate Bill 1 and contact your legislator to show your support for the bill. We need your help more than ever - the time to expand school choice in Pennsylvania is NOW.
