Clarion-Limestone School District Facing Funding Crisis |
| The Clarion-Limestone School District is facing a critical state funding shortfall. As a result of a change in the state's funding formula, the Clarion-Limestone School District will receive only a 1.9% increase in basic education funding. Meanwhile, costs for fuel, energy, and health care have spiraled far in excess of the 1.9% funding increase, and the state continues to add mandated programs that the District must maintain.
We urge you to download the letters linked below and sign and forward them to your elected representatives, whose names and addresses are also listed below.. Please let them know that a 1.9% funding increase is unacceptable and that our students deserve the same educational advantages enjoyed by their peers in other parts of Pennsylvania. The House Appropriations Committee Hearing on Education is scheduled for March 3 at 2:00 in the Majority Caucus Room on the first floor of the Capitol. The Senate hearing is scheduled for March 5, at 9:00 in Hearing Room I of the North Office Building. |
