Lancaster County school district superintendents will join state lawmakers and education funding activists in a virtual forum on education funding at 2 p.m. Thursday.
The forum, moderated by Democratic state Rep. Mike Sturla, of Lancaster, will feature presentations and discussions about how to make basic education funding more equitable in Pennsylvania. The public is invited to view the forum at RepMikeSturla.com.
Sturla is expected to speak on his legislation that would accelerate full implementation of the stateâs fair funding formula established in 2016. Currently, only new additional money allocated in each yearâs state budget runs through the formula. Sturlaâs bill would establish a plan so all basic education dollars would flow through the formula in 10 years.
When: Manheim Township school board virtual meeting, March 11.
What happened: Lisa Douglas, Manheim Township director of planning and zoning, and Marc Munafo, president of Baltimore-based CAM Construction, explained the approval process for placing the former Stehli Silk Mill, a deteriorated property at 701 Martha Ave, in a Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance program. The board made no decision during its workshop meeting.
Background: The Manheim Township Commissioners approved LERTA for revitalizing the property last month, but it also needs approval from Manheim Township School District and Lancaster County. The developer plans to spend about $35 million to convert the buildings to 165 apartments, a brewpub and one or two small office spaces.
