| We must remove wasteful spending from the $180 million budget. Homeowners, especially seniors, cannot afford 5%-10% annual tax hikes. As the people paying the bill, you deserve representation on the school board that sets 80% of your property taxes. |
|
We must oppose any measure to implement a new personal income tax. Not having a local income tax is a source of competitive advantage to homeowners and we will protect that for you. |
|
We must focus on improving students' core competencies in math, English, science and technology with improved accountability for results. Merit-based pay for teachers and meaningful graduation requirements are needed. |
|
We support making union contract proposals public; televised board meetings; interactive public comment sessions; and greater parental access and input into all school board decisions. |

All Pennsbury teachers are being forced to pay union dues or fees to keep their jobs. We oppose such coercion, and we support restoring teachers' right to freely choose or reject union affiliation. |
