(Aliquippa, Pa.) Governor Tom Wolf today joined students, educators and elected officials in the Aliquippa School District in Beaver County to celebrate the administration’s historic $3.7 billion investment in public education over the past eight years.
“While this record amount of education funding is a necessary step forward and one worthy of celebration, we still have a long way to go before education in Pennsylvania is fully and fairly funded” Governor Wolf said. “Let’s use this as a stepping stone to continue our fight for full, fair funding for all schools in Pennsylvania.”
This year’s budget alone includes a record $1.8 billion in education investments.
Speaking at Aliquippa High School’s Black Box Theater today, Governor Wolf recalled that proper funding for education was his top priority when he took office in 2015. This year, that priority resulted in:
• $525 million increase through the Fair Funding Formula. On average Pennsylvania
schools will see their funding increase by 8 percent.
• $225 million increase for Level Up to provide targeted support to the 100 most in-need school districts, ensuring that every child in Pennsylvania has the opportunity to thrive and succeed through equal access to a high-quality education no matter their zip code.
• $100 million increase for Special Education.
• $79 million increase for Early Education through Pre-K Counts and Head Start.
• $220 million for public higher education.
The investment in education includes $850 million in recurring funding to allow school districts to invest in student learning while simultaneously cutting local property taxes.
“Whether in Beaver County or across the commonwealth, the governor’s commitment to funding education has been unwavering,” state Rep. Robert Matzie said. “I am proud to stand with him, and even more proud to have worked with him, in support of his unprecedented investments in our children.”
Over the eight-year course of the administration, funding for pre-K through 12th grade has increased $2.7 billion, including:
• Basic education: $1.86 billion
• Special education: $290 million
• Educational access: $23 million
• Early childhood education: $254 million, including $49 million for Head Start and $205 million for Pre-K Counts.
• Early intervention (PDE): $109 million
• Career and technical education: $46 million
In addition to historic funding investments in new and existing education programs, the Wolf administration has:
• Modernized standards for science education.
• Invested more than $130 million in School Safety Grants to make schools and school
communities safer.
• Reduced the age when students must start school to 6 and raised the high school
dropout age to 18.
• Launched the first-of-its-kind “It’s On Us PA” Campus Sexual Assault Prevention
initiative to combat sexual assault and make colleges and universities safer.
Gov. Wolf has served for two terms as a leader consistently at work for the
people of Pennsylvania.

Representative Robert Matzie speaks with the press.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democrats in Pennsylvania who’ve long blamed their party’s legislative minorities on Republican gerrymandering are about to find out whether friendlier district maps will edge them closer to retaking control of the House and Senate. Nearly 400 state legislative candidates will appear on ballots Nov. 8. The new district boundaries, along with dozens of retirements and primary election defeats, will certainly bring change to the Capitol. But even the most ardent Democrats aren’t predicting they’ll swing enough seats to dictate when bills are voted on or if they even get a vote. Republicans currently hold majorities of 29-21 in the Senate and 113-90 in the House.

Powell’s Stark Message: Inflation Fight May Cause Recession

(AP File Photo)
By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve delivered its bluntest reckoning Wednesday of what it will take to finally tame painfully high inflation: Slower growth, higher unemployment and potentially a recession. Speaking at a news conference, Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged what many economists have been saying for months: That the Fed’s goal of engineering a “soft landing” — in which it would manage to slow growth enough to curb inflation but not so much as to trigger a recession — looks increasingly unlikely. “The chances of a soft landing,” Powell said, “are likely to diminish” as the Fed steadily raises borrowing costs to slow the worst inflation in four decades.

Final Southbound I-79 Neville Island Bridge Closure This Weekend

(Pittsburgh, PA )PennDOT District 11 is announcing the final southbound weekend closure on the I-79 Neville Island Bridge in Glenfield Borough and Robinson and Neville townships, Allegheny County, will occur Friday night, September 23 through Monday morning, September 26 weather permitting.

A full closure of the I-79 Neville Island Bridge in the southbound direction will occur from approximately 9 p.m. Friday night, September 23 continuously through 5 a.m. Monday morning, September 26 as crews conduct deck and concrete pavement repairs, bridge painting, and steel repairs.

To allow the work to occur, all southbound traffic will be detoured. Beginning at approximately 8 p.m. Friday night, the Pennsylvania State Police will begin a slow roll of southbound I-79 traffic at the Mt. Nebo (Exit 68) interchange and assist the contractor with reducing the roadway to a single lane of traffic between the Mt. Nebo and Emsworth/Sewickley exits. At approximately 9 p.m. Friday night, another slow roll of southbound I-79 traffic will occur from Mt. Nebo interchange. The police and contractor will guide all traffic to the detour route.

Posted Detour

  • From southbound I-79, motorists will exit at the Route 65 Emsworth/Sewickley (Exit 66) interchange
  • Turn left onto Glenfield Road
  • Glenfield Road becomes Kilbuck Street
  • Turn right onto the ramp to North 65 toward Sewickley
  • From northbound Route 65, turn left onto the Sewickley Bridge
  • Turn left onto southbound Route 51 (University Boulevard) toward Coraopolis
  • From southbound Route 51, take the ramp to South 79 toward Washington
  • End detour

Additionally, a single-lane restriction will occur on northbound Route 65 at the on-ramp from Kilbuck Street. This will allow for better traffic flow for the detour route.

Motorists on southbound I-79 may want to consider using I-279 (Parkway North) to I-376 (Parkway West) to avoid the detour route.

Police will assist motorists at key intersections during peak travel times. Motorists should expect delays.

Work on projects along the detour route will not occur this weekend.

Additionally, a lane closure will occur on northbound I-79 on the Neville Island Bridge during the weekend construction. The northbound lane restriction will be lifted before 6 a.m. Monday.

The $43 million I-79 Neville Island Bridge Rehabilitation Project includes structural steel repairs, full structure painting, bearing and deck joint replacements, deck repairs and overlays, bridge barrier repair, substructure concrete work and drainage improvements.  The project also includes concrete roadway reconstruction, guide rail replacement and preservation work on four sign structures. Additionally, preservation work will occur on the I-79 bridge over Deer Run Road, north of the Neville Island Bridge.  Motorists will see ramp closures and single-lane and shoulder closures in each direction on I-79 during daylight off-peak and overnight hours. Four southbound weekend closures will occur in 2022.

The Trumbull Corporation is the prime contractor.

To help keep motorists informed as work progresses, PennDOT has created an email distribution list for the I-79 Neville Island Bridge rehabilitation including traffic advisories and construction updates.
