All children in Pennsylvania deserve to be provided an adequate and equitable high quality public education, regardless of the zip code they live in. This includes equipping students with supports to meet their special education needs and focuses on building skills to successfully graduate, transition to higher education, or enter the workforce career ready. PPC focuses on policy solutions to make this achievable.

PA Schools Work Campaign
Pennsylvania schools work – for students, communities and the economy – when they have the resources to give all students an equal opportunity to attend a local public school that has adequate resources to ensure that he or she can learn and meet state academic standards.
PPC is partner of the non-partisan grassroots PA Schools Work campaign that is calling on the state to pay its fair share and adequately and equitably fund public education.
