Both Pennsylvania Democrats in the state’s high-stakes Senate race support a $15 federal minimum wage and getting rid of the filibuster to make it happen.

About half of the state’s school districts don’t currently offer full-time, in-person learning, so districts will need to be able to first change their learning models.

Children are not just falling behind due to pandemic school closures. The problem of missing children is now coming to light. In October, Bellwether Education Partners estimated that millions of the most underserved and at-risk children had not attended school in-person or online since March 2020. From their study:
For approximately 3 million of the most educationally marginalized students in the country, March might have been the last time they experienced any formal education virtual or in-person. Stories from across the country illustrate pieces of this crisis:
In Los Angeles, 15%-20% of English learners, students in foster care, students with disabilities, and homeless students didn’t access any of the district’s online educational materials from March through May.
