The Pennsylvania Legislature has convened for a short session before
the election — and charter school reform is heading up the agenda.
The Patriot News is reporting that Governor Tom Corbett is hoping that now is the time for the bill that would give the state more power in the regulation of charter schools.
Right before the legislature adjourned its summer session in June, it
came “within a sentence” of putting a version of the bill on Corbett’s
desk.
Although Corbett is making charters a priority — he said last week
that reforming the way charter schools in the state are regulated will
aid all education stake holders in PA — it will not be the only issue
before lawmakers this session.
