Campaign themes

The future
|
"Our district has $172 million in debt, many building infrastructure problems and rapidly growing pension obligations. We must develop a long term financial plan to deal with these ticking time bombs!" |
Demand accountability and results
|
"Our district ranks 120th in the State despite the amount that we spend. Isn’t it time to demand that the results match the spending? We must hold our educators accountable." |
Property taxes
|
"Our school district spends about $16,200 per student - that’s in the top 10 of all school districts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania! Raising taxes and spending more money is not the answer!" |
