State Budget Impasse Impacting Education

You have probably been following the news on the recent impasses regarding the state budget. Dr. Zahorchak, Pennsylvania Secretary of Education, recently released a letter to district superintendents that outlines the potential impact that these budget discussions may have on education.
Our district home page (http://www.washington.k12.pa.us) has a copy of Dr. Zahorchak’s letter, as well as a letter that you may send to members of Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives and Senate. Regardless of your party affiliation, this is an issue that may affect all of us as educational leaders for the foreseeable future.

Thank you for your concern and help with this matter.
