Reach out to Representative Barry Jozwiak and ask him to co-sponsor Rep Ciresi’s and Rep Sturla’s Fair Funding bills. Both bills substantially advance the cause of equitable funding.
Rep Jozwiak is from Berks County and has just one district getting less than its fair share… but has co-sponsored fair funding legislation in the past. When you call you can thank him for his past co-sponsorship and reemphasize why this issue is so critical for PA students.
