Superintendents from 19 “urban school districts” across the state held press conferences Thursday to call for an end to the current cyber-charter/charter school funding system they say is unfair and inequitable.
The events were organized by The Pennsylvania League of Urban Schools.
McKeesport Area Superintendent Dr. Mark Holtzman is one of the superintendents who participated and was joined by superintendents from seven school districts. They were Dr. Lisa Duval (South Allegheny), Sue Moyer (Duquesne City), James Harris (Woodland Hills), Dr. Nancy Hines (Penn Hills), Dr. Ginny Hunt (Clairton), Ed Wehrer (Steel Valley) and Dr. Linda J. Iverson (Wilkinsburg).
The group, dubbed “Ed. Leaders Pittsburgh,” meets each month “to discuss the common issues our similar districts that kind of represent the Mon Valley share.”
