Panelists will address a variety of topics related to K-12 public education funding including:
• Adequacy and equity gaps in Pennsylvania’s school funding system and local implications.
• The role of public education in effective school-to-workforce pipelines to overcome unprecedented workforce shortages.
• Pennsylvania’s overreliance on local property taxes to fund public education and its implications on real estate markets.
• Race equity concerns with K-12 education and the funding system.

The Lancaster Chamber’s Pro-Business Agenda focuses on workforce policies in three areas: meeting workforce demands, strengthening the future workforce, and expanding workforce opportunities. Similarly, ReadyNation has leveraged the experience, influence, and expertise of business executives to promote public policies and programs that build a stronger workforce and economy. At this Wake Up, attendees will hear from panelists on effective investments in education and students as the future workforce and the impacts those investments can have.
