Vouchers: The Wrong Choice
Dear Friend,
We are reaching out to you once again because a voucher bill may move in the House as early as TODAY.
We must make a final push to ensure that a voucher bill is not passed before the House goes home in two weeks.
Vouchers would drain millions of dollars from classrooms across our state.
Please consider taking these two simple actions now:
-
Learn why vouchers will harm Pennsylvania’s students
-
Relay a message to your State Representative by clicking here.
Ask your Representative to oppose vouchers in any form, including the adoption of a pilot program. (We already know from 20 years’ experience in Milwaukee that vouchers don’t work). Urge your Representative to support education policies that benefit all students, not just those who would be able to attend private and religious schools with a voucher.
Thank you for all you do on behalf of our region’s kids!
Sincerely,
Shelly Yanoff
