When: School District of Lancaster board meeting, April 13.
What happened: Board members learned that parents plan a May 15 community rally to show support for a lawsuit filed against the state by six school districts, including the School District of Lancaster. The lawsuit seeks to change the way the Pennsylvania Legislature funds school districts. In addition, the board discussed ways to spend about $67 million in COVID-19 relief money.
Fair Funding Now: This parent-led group will host speakers beginning at 10 a.m. at Victory Field, in front of J.P. McCaskey High School. The 90-minute event will culminate in a march to Binns Park on Queen Street if organizers receive permission from Lancaster city. Superintendent Damaris Rau plans to speak. Anyone interested in the rally may find more information on Facebook. Masks and social-distancing rules will be observed, said Susan Knoll, an event organizer.
