Speak Up For School Choice!

Support School Choice Information

School choice is coming up for a vote in Harrisburg. We need to demonstrate a strong show of support from the Catholic school community.

All parents should be able to choose a school that best suits their children. Financial realities often preclude parents from having that choice. SB 1 will help many current Catholic school families and will allow even more children a chance to get a Catholic education. Having more students in our classrooms is good news for our schools.

Providing a quality education for our children is the most critical investment we can make for our future. A good education helps children grow up to be good citizens. Growing as many good citizens as we can will help ensure a better and brighter future for all of us.

The Opportunity Scholarship Grants and the expansion of Educational Improvement Tax Credits (EITC) in SB 1 are the right choice for Pennsylvania.

The state Senate will likely vote on SB 1 as early as this week or next week. The state House of Representatives will consider it after that. We need to tell all of our state legislators to vote YES on Senate Bill 1.

There are several ways advocates can do this:

  • Visit - stop by your legislator's district office in your hometown. Even if he or she is not in the office, leave your message with the staff. If you are able, consider traveling to Harrisburg to see legislators in their Capitol offices anytime or join hundreds of advocates at the state Capitol on Tuesday, April 12, 2011, for a rally.
