“—Allowing districts to hire registered nurses rather than school certified nurses”
I can imagine that a school “certified” nurse is just a union goon who probably knows ZERO about medicine and health.

Sensible approach and people who are administrators should have degrees in something that is rational, not just ‘educational.’

They know enough to not dispense even an aspirin without parental consent but can arrange for an abortion by the end of the school day.

Requiring a two-thirds vote by school boards to raise property taxes
This alone will really put the brakes on these Taj Mahal schools and the endless spending on special lights on the Field Hockey field and elaborate television production studios when the kids can't even read. I like what the new GOP majority is trying to do here in the PA. Corbett is really doing a nice job to so far. I guess it doesn't take much after the last crook Fast Eddie.

I hopoe this works out well, but as a PA refugee I have little confidence that anything positive will happen there.

What's to say about it. If you want to home school in PA you can. I don't know anyone doing it here that has run into any hassle from the state Gov't.

--Allowing districts to hire those who have graduate degrees in business or finance as superintendents ending the incestuous education certification requirement. How about as teachers?
How is someone with a college degree in computer science not qualified to teach high school computer classes?
How is someone with a college degree in mathmatics not qualified to teach high school math?
How is someone with a college degree in physics not qualified to teach high school physics?
How is someone with a college degree in chemisty not qualified to teach high school chemistry?
How is someone with a college degree in art not qualified to teach high school art?
Because none of these people have a degree in "education," which means they aren't allowed to teach anything at the high school level.
But they are allowed to teach college classes. If anyone ever took a college class from a grad student in college (and who didn't), then you took a college level course from someone "not qualified" to teach high school.

Thanks Lazlo - “If you want to home school in PA you can.”
Way Cool! - I think that it is also good to very good here in Calif. Others may know.

"Among the reforms that Bob says will be addressed in a series of bills will be:"
"--Empowering school districts to furlough teachers if the economic conditions should warrant it"
Oh yeah. They're enjoying their four day workweeks without pay cuts in my area. $40,000 a year for a rural elementary school teacher. That's the ticket.
"-- Allowing districts to suspend non-essential reports to the state Department of Education in years state education funding declines"
...irrelevant. Public education will end before long.
"-- Requiring a two-thirds vote by school boards to raise property taxes"
The few on school boards can raise property taxes against everyone? That needs to be stopped. Or we could just look forward to the default. ;-)
"--Allowing districts to hire registered nurses rather than school certified nurses"
Either way, they would be overpaid individuals from programs saturated with garbage from women's studies departments.
"--Allowing school districts to bid single prime on construction projects. (It has been estimated that this will cut construction costs by 10 percent)"
...$15 million from the federal government for a local school building with a handful of students, the number of students declining every year.
"--Allowing districts to hire those who have graduate degrees in business or finance as superintendents ending the incestuous education certification requirement."
Yeah, hire some globalist banksters.

One of the top schools in Mississippi is a private school called St Andrews Episcopal School. 100% of its graduates go on to college, and alumni routinely are accepted to the Ivies, Standford, Duke, etc.
A few years back St. Andrews failed to be accredited by the state because of this issue — The physics teacher had a PHD in physics from MIT, but no teaching certificate, etc.
St. Andrews did not change its policies. It simply thumbed its nose at the state. Nicely done, I might add.

Anyway, Penn is a private school. Penn State is basically a private school too although they get a nice chunk of taxpayer money.

You can home school in any state, but PA has some of the most restrictive requirements in the country.

Well the state can't be that restrictive. Some of the people I know homeschooling would have trouble training a dog to sit more less educate a child.

You are correct, PA does have a very restrictive if not the most restrictive HS law. It is a strong deterrent to home education.
