    March 19, 2020 The Honorable Maria Collett Pennsylvania Senate 183 Main Capitol Building Harrisburg, PA 17120 Dear Senator Collett: As the Executive Director of the Bucks County Intermediate Unit (Bucks IU), and the Superintendents of the thirteen public school districts in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, we are jointly writing to you to urgently and respectfully request your immediate support and championship of legislation to enact emergency legislation in an effort to help our schools deal with the effect of the coronavirus. As we work through the impact that COVID-19 has had on our students and communities, we urgently need state-level policy in order to properly plan for our next steps, in what will likely be a long battle against the virus. Clearly, this situation is unprecedented and, as we all share the goal of providing for the health, safety, and well-being of Bucks County school students, we hope you will act immediately to pass legislation providing the consistent statewide policy we need in order to continue to do our jobs, protect our employees, and serve our students. These changes include: • Eliminate the 180-day requirement for all public and nonpublic schools and home education programs. • Allow the Secretary of Education to accept applications for Flexible Instructional Days (FIDs) from school entities that may not have previously applied for such days and also increase the number of allowable FIDS in order to permit additional educational opportunities for our students while they are confined at home. • Ensure that all state funding, including school subsidies and reimbursements that otherwise were expected to be received by intermediate units and school districts for the 2019-2020 school year, are still received, without penalty.

  • Neshaminy School District Gifted K-12 Program Quality Review October 28, 29 and 30, 2014
    Neshaminy School District Gifted K-12 Program Quality Review October 28, 29 and 30, 2014 October 2014 To the Neshaminy School District: The Gifted K-12 Program Quality Review Team wishes to thank and commend those Neshaminy staff members and teachers who participated in this review process. We greatly appreciate the positive and professional attitude displayed by school staff and administration. The visiting team found the administration, teachers, staff, and parents to be most cooperative and willing to discuss all aspects of Neshaminy’s academic enrichment programs. Graciousness, openness, and hospitality were evident throughout the three-day visit, making our jobs much easier and allowing us to collect useful information. While conducting more than 150 individual and group interviews and classroom observations in every school in the district, the team collected information in a variety of areas and provided detailed answers to specific questions, along with overall program strengths, needs, and recommendations. Team members identified program needs and made practical recommendations by applying their experience in the field to the on-site data collected, realizing that local conditions will determine local action. Team members were pleased to have been a key part of this program improvement process. We wish you continued success in what is probably the most significant activity for today and tomorrow – educating our children.

    705 N. Shady Retreat Rd. )frfr-.{} PA 18901 Doylestown, Bucks Gounty Tel: 215-348-2940 lntermediate Unit www.BuckslU.org Joint Letter from Bucks County Superintendents to Bucks Gounty Legislators (PA House of Representatives) Opposing House Bill 1800 As the Chief School Administrators of the Bucks County lntermediate Unit and the thirteen public school districts in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, we are writing to you to express our collective and strong opposition to House Bill 1800 a school voucher program for students in the Harrisburg School District. The legislation sets a precedent for expansion to at least thirteen other school districts and sets the stage for the eventual rollout of an expensive statewide voucher prog ram. We understand that the House Education Committee is scheduled to take up this bill as early as Monday, November 18, 2019. Furthermore, once that bill is reported out of the House Education Committee, it is expected to be pushed out to the House floor. As our representatives in Harrisburg, we are writing to you to ask that you oppose this legislation. We have several reasons for our collective opposition which are as follows: Vouchers are taxpayer-funded government subsidies for nonpublic schools: . Vouchers divert attention, commitment and dollars from public schools to pay private school tuition for a few students, including many who already are in private school. Taxpayers simply cannot afford to fund both public and private school systems. Vouchers do nothing to improve the education of all students: . Creating a separate education system does nothing to address inadequacies or issues with the existing public-school system.
