“—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.

[Niuhuru]

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

NOT ONE WORD about HOME Education?! - (or, did I miss it?)

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.

--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.

Seriously, with the Republicans in complete control why is this crook and liar still employed at the taxpayers expense

"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.

Where will the ‘Rats run and hide this time? NY? MD?

Are their rules similar with quorums and such like WI?
