We used our so-called bully pulpit again on Sunday to lament something we've talked about many times.
Pennsylvania's system of funding education is broken, fundamentally flawed that has created an uneven playing field.
It's especially dangerous for kids in distressed school districts, kids like those who live in the William Penn School District.
They are the ones who get penalized for no other reason than their zip code.
There are very few people who know this topic better than Larry Feinberg. He's been a member of the Haverford School Board for 16 years. He's also chairman of the Delaware County School Boards Legislative Council and a Circuit Rider for Pa. Schools, part of the Basic Education Funding Commission set up by the Legislature to study the problem and make recommendations.
Feinberg offered some of his thoughts in education funding in Pa. in a letter to the editor today.
He's also letting people know how they can have their say.
There will be a regional forum on the topic Wednesday night at 7 at the Springfield High School Auditorium, 49 W. Leamy Avenue in Springfield.
It's time to get involved. This is your chance.
