HARRISBURG, Sept. 9 – Chester-Upland, Chichester and Interboro school districts and Delaware County Technical School today were awarded state grant funding to help address environmental hazards in their school buildings, according to state Reps. Carol Kazeem, Leanne Krueger and Dave Delloso, all D-Delaware. Chester Upland School District received $821,912 while Chichester was awarded $1.04 million. Interboro was awarded $290,761. DCTC also received $80,095 for environmental remediation needs in its Aston and Folcroft buildings. The money comes from the state’s Public School Environmental Repairs Program , made possible by funding Krueger, Kazeem and Delloso voted for in the 2023-24 state budget. Grants under the program can be used by schools to fix environmental hazards in their school buildings, including removing lead in water sources and in paint, as well as asbestos and mold removal and remediation. “No student or staff member should have to learn or work in a building full of lead, asbestos and mold, yet this is what many young people and adults across the state -- some right here in Delaware County -- faced with each new school year and for far too long because local tax sources were stretched too thin,” Krueger said. “I fought to include funding to fix and clean up our schools in last year’s state budget and again this year. I am grateful to see schools like Chester-Upland finally get the Read more

The events of this weekend wherein an idiot took it upon himself to attempt to assassinate former President Trump, and in doing so injured several innocent civilians and killed a man while trying to protect his family, are disgusting to me. The actions of the shooter are revolting, and the swift action of the Secret Service and Local Police Agencies were heroic in eliminating the ongoing threat the shooter imposed and should be lauded. My gratitude goes out to the Secret Service and all Local Police Agencies that were there to protect freedom of speech and the American way. Their skillful actions saved the President’s life and prevented harm from coming to many people there gathered to share their political ideas and gain insight into those of former President and Candidate Trump. I have five (5) times taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, twice in the Marines and now three times as an elected State Representative. Freedom of expression, the right to assemble and the right to vote for the Candidate of your choosing must be defended and protected at every turn. If you don't like the way things are going, express yourself, assemble with people of like mind, and build a coalition of voters to make the change you seek. That’s the American way. Assassination attempts and terror activity will and should be met with the full force and effect of those who have sworn to defend the Constitution and the American way. Be vigilant and Read more

Thank you to my House colleagues for unanimously voting to approve my legislation to make the suicide hotline more available to kids in school. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for teens and adolescents. With this measure, we can help make sure that the last decision a kid makes is not the *worst* decision that kid makes.
