Last week, the PA House passed a bipartisan education funding plan will have significant positive impacts, not just for the coming school year, but a real comprehensive plan that finally addresses chronically underfunded and over-taxed school districts and ensures all public schools are fairly funded – all without raising one taxpayer dime. In fact, this plan provides property tax relief to our most underfunded districts. Read more

Right now in Pennsylvania, it’s unlawful to text and drive. This week, my colleagues and I in the House took a significant step to strengthen that law to include using an interactive mobile device while driving. You can still take a call (using hands-free technology), navigate your travel with GPS, listen to music and even use your device in an emergency. But no one should be doing anything that takes their focus off the task at hand – driving. Read more

NORRISTOWN, March 15 – State Reps. Matt Bradford and Greg Scott today announced that Norristown Area School District was awarded $1.8 million to support the district’s efforts to create a safe and healthy learning environment for students. This funding, part of $39 million that was awarded to 36 school entities across Pennsylvania, was awarded through the federal Bipartisan Safer Communities Act Stronger Connections Grant.
