AFTPA 2013 Convention Tackles Funding, Pensions

Tuesday, June 25, more than 2,000 and parents, students, clergy and AFTPA members traveled to Harrisburg from across Pennsylvania tell lawmakers to restore the billiion-dollar education budget cuts to save our public schools, community colleges and universities.
AFT Pennsylvania joined with state Senate Democrats in calling for a moratorium on the requirements for students, teachers and schools associated with the new Common Core State Standards on Monday.
AFTPA supports a proposal by PA Rep. James Roebuck that would change the way the state funds cyber-charter schools and return nearly $400 million to public schools - without raising taxes.
