Social Policy on our Radar--Censorship in PA Schools

At our 2024 all-League annual meeting in April, the Education Committee reported that it continues to monitor public school funding, charter school activity, controversies surrounding public libraries, and other education-related bills filed in the General Assembly. Resolutions opposing bills which expand charter schools, tuition tax credits, and open enrollment have been approved and sent to the Metro League Board for consideration.

Public education in Wisconsin will face devastating consequences if the budget proposal for K-12 education, moved forward by the Joint Committee on Finance (JFC), is enacted.

Education Action Team

The Education Action Team focuses on the League of Women Voters' belief that high-quality public education for all children is necessary to sustain our democratic way of life and the economic health of our state and the people. We believe that adequate funding is essential to provide and sustain such an education.

To that end, the LWVNC:

Two bills of great concern remain during the final two weeks of the General Assembly 2024 session. Please urge your senators to oppose H.4624 Gender Transition Under 18 and H.5118 Rollback of Public Protections in Utility Regulation (Canadys gas plant.) H.4624 has been set for special order and could be heard as soon as Tuesday. H.5118 is currently stalled on the Senate calendar but could rear its ugly head during these last weeks.
