Subject: | Homeless Children’s Education Task Force Extension |
In the near future, we plan to introduce legislation extending the expiration date of the Homeless Children's Education Task Force by 9 months. Act 123 of 2012 created a Task Force on Homeless Children’s Education that is charged with examining the educational needs and status of homeless children in this Commonwealth in order to develop and recommend a Statewide proposal to provide a strong educational foundation for homeless children. The Task Force was given two years to complete its work; however, due to a variety of factors, additional time is needed to complete its work. The sponsors of SB 157 of 2011-12 were Senators Fontana, Blake, Boscola, Brewster, Browne, Costa, Dinniman, Earll, Erickson, Farnese, Ferlo, Greenleaf, Hughes, Kasunic, Kitchen, Pippy, Solobay, Stack, Tartaglione, Ward, Washington, Williams and Yudichak. Please contact Nate Silcox (Sen. Vulakovich) at 717-787-6538 or Colleen DeFrank (Sen. Fontana) at 717-787-5300 if you have any questions regarding this issue. |
