In the District

This week my district office staff helped seniors and residents of Lancaster City Housing Authority with Rent Rebate applications. I am proud to serve our community through events like this!

Investing in Pre-K Education is The Smart Investment in PA's Future

joined state Rep. Nikki Rivera, D-Lancaster, at her public policy hearing to explore the impact of pre-K programming in Lancaster.

We joined education experts and stakeholders to discuss the impact of pre-K education on children’s K-12 educational experiences and the challenges and needs of these programs.

Presenters included representatives from Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13, Community Action Partnership of Lancaster, Manheim Township School District, Pennsylvania Child Care Association, T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood Pennsylvania, School District of Lancaster, YWCA of Lancaster, Lancaster Recreation Commission, Pennsylvania School Library Association, Pennsylvania School Counselors Association and TEACH PLUS.

Presenters spoke and attendees, which included state representatives, Deputy Secretary Shante Brown, from the state Office of Child Development and Early Learning, and Lancaster County Commissioner Alice Yoder, were able to ask questions of each presenter.

The presenters have reaffirmed what years of studies have told us: a strong pre-K education is the key, the foundation, for a child’s educational success. It’s on us -- legislators, educational and municipal leaders -- to work together so that all kids have a chance to get the educational foundation that will set them on the path to personal and academic achievement. Thanks to today’s presenters, we’ve got the information to help us draw a map to help us make pre-K education a reality for Pennsylvania’s kids.

Let’s get it done!
