Education experimenters press forward as states opt for federal school choice

(The Center Square) – Public education looks different from what it once did 50 years ago. Or 25 years ago. Or even six years ago. Back then, just before the pandemic, Janine Yass and her husband, Jeff, prominent billionaire philanthropists who support school choice programs, were donating seed money to educators experimenting with different types of learning for students. They were looking for programs that differed from the status quo, just as their Boys Latin of Philadelphia Charter School did when it opened in 2007. Twenty years later, the institution enrolls 800 students from sixth to 12th grade in a college preparatory curriculum. Nine out of 10 students graduate from high school, three-quarters of students are economically disadvantaged, and more than one-third receive special education services. In the School District of Philadelphia, where most of their students come from, only three out of 10 are grade-level proficient in math and reading. Public education lobbyists and the lawmakers they bankroll say the hollowing out of neighborhood schools happened because state funding lagged the true cost of education. Students walk under asbestos-insulated ceilings, water fountains can be too polluted to use, and bathrooms lack toilet paper. Enrollment at district schools has fallen

How Philly school district, SEPTA are avoiding pain at the pump

The Philly school district and SEPTA are largely avoiding the pain of skyrocketing fuel prices and have no plans to cut bus routes or reduce service. Why it matters: The Iran war is sending diesel costs higher just as school districts and transit agencies — including in Philly — are grappling with tight budgets. The big picture: Elsewhere in the nation, rising fuel prices have hit school districts particularly hard. Many are consolidating routes and cutting optional trips as they struggle to afford both fuel and drivers. Context: Locally, diesel prices hit $6.45 yesterday, up from $3.89 during the same time last year, per AAA . That's a roughly 66% jump. Plus: Diesel prices recently hit an all-time high locally on Sept. 22 ($6.57). Zoom in: SEPTA has mitigated the effects of rising fuel prices by locking in prices several months in advance — a practice called hedging, spokesperson Andrew Busch tells Axios. And SEPTA runs a fully diesel-electric hybrid bus fleet, which helps make the agency less vulnerable to rising fuel prices. "While costs have gone up for SEPTA's fuel purchases, we are still well within our budgeted amounts," Busch says. Yes, but: As prices have remained elevated and
