- The shockingly bad conditions in some of our buildings are the direct result of perpetual underfunding. Great recent progress made, much more to do to achieve "adequacy" www.nbcphiladelphia.com/video/news/l... #PhlEd #FundOurSchools #PAbudget
- 30% more for public education and 70% more for CTE over the course of his administration: @governor.pa.gov's vision for Pennsylvania is rooted in a belief in public education. We @pft.org are grateful & ready to do the work to win legislative support of his #PAbudget plan pft.org/press/pft-pr...
- The District loves to tout growing enrollment numbers, but that achievement belongs to our dedicated @pft.org educators. Creating chaos at schools like SDP has done since Thursday risks squandering the labor and credibility of our members. pft.org/press/pft-on... #PhlEd
- Totally unacceptable for the District to send students and staff back into buildings without knowing if the heating and plumbing were working. The tech that makes virtual learning possible exists and should be used when health and safety are at risk www.inquirer.com/education/co... #PhlEd
- Public education is central to the project of building a multi-racial democracy. That is what the attempt to destroy the Department of Education was always about. www.npr.org/2026/02/02/n...
- @pft.org members are the most dedicated educators. They showed up to work today even though many streets and sidewalks are still covered with giant piles of icy snow, and were greeted with freezing classrooms and busted plumbing. Tomorrow must be a remote learning day. pft.org/press/danger...
- Disabled students at Penrose Elementary were forced to endure the indignity of unshoveled wheelchair ramps. That is totally unacceptable. We're calling on the District to go remote until conditions are safe for students and staff. pft.org/press/danger... #PhlEd
