Jack Silva didn’t know anything about how children learn to read. What he did know is that a lot of students in his district were struggling.
Silva is the chief academic officer for Bethlehem, Pa., public schools. In 2015, only 56 percent of third-graders were scoring proficient on the state reading test. That year, he set out to do something about that.
“It was really looking yourself in the mirror and saying, ‘Which 4 in 10 students don’t deserve to learn to read?’ ” he recalls.
Bethlehem is not an outlier. Across the country, millions of kids are struggling. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, 32 percent of fourth-graders and 24 percent

We are saddened to report the sudden passing of Carol Allen. Ms. Allen was recently a member of the East Penn School Board.

The following analysis of the Property Tax Independence Act, HB & SB 76 was written by Robert S. Kistler – an extremely knowledgeable and very active member of the Pennsylvania Taxpayers Cyber Coalition. The battle over property tax elimination rages on in Pennsylvania. The unfortunate but predictable side is that there is much misinformation that continues to be spread about HB/SB 76, the “Property Tax Independence Act”, despite the fact that the bill has been around for years. Some of the misinformation is born from lack of understanding the bill, the rumor mill, and half truths. However, there is also a dark side to this battle, a well planned and orchestrated intentional negative propaganda campaign with regard to the bill. With November elections nearing

HARRISBURG — House State Government Committee Chairman Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler) issued the following statement today, offering his full support for the patriotic Mars Area High School students, faculty and the school board who are now coming under racially charged criticism for participating in an USA-theme night celebration during Friday’s varsity football game against Penn Hills:

Johnny may not be able to read, write or do math, but he sure knows a lot about left-wing activism.

In a school year strewn with protests and walkouts such as those inspired in reaction to the Parkland massacre, the annual school-based, Rainbow Mafia-driven protest known as the “Day of Silence” may not pack the punch it has in previous years — particularly when the very nature of the protest is that of not speaking out verbally.
